I wouldn't say Go hasn't succeeded. Maybe not as a general replacement for C/C++. But still lots of new applications that would most likely have been written in C/C++ a few years ago are now popping up in Go (unix daemons, commandline tools, ...).
- user5994461 10y agoGo has succeeded in its niche (distributed systems). There are real jobs opportunities in Go, in the major tech hubs. Funny thing is. Everything that is done in Go could be done in Java. Go is succeeding because lots of dev despise Java (related to the entreprisey & the usual culture of java companies).

We've been slowly migrating services and the statically compiled binaries are truly amazing for ensuring it will run. Not once have I encountered an 'it runs on my machine' situation.
