Go is pretty much mainstream by now, I don't think it's a stronger filter than say python. Depending on subject area, I'd look at clojure, ocaml, haskell, lua, or rust.
- claudiug 10y agohow you define mainstream? by number of jobs, scala is way ahead, also python, javascript, ruby, java. Even here, when jobs are listed, numbers of go jobs are quite low
- hughperkins 10y agoWhenever i see a bunch of code written in a language different fron whatever the rest of tge team are using, that language is often: go :)
- Anderkent 10y agoMight be bias from my anecdotal experience, but whenever I speak with people working at large corpos, go comes up more often than python or ruby.
- tonyarkles 10y agoAnother subject-area-specific option: Elixir. I do like every option you've presented as well; Elixir just fills another niche.
- Anderkent 10y agoI was considering mentioning erlang, but you probably don't want to write erlang. I've never touched elixir, but I would likely try it if I hit a problem that I would use erlang for in the olde days.
