In which universe is Go a part of a fast-changing ecosystem? It certainly isn't this one! The Go language abides a strict compatibility guarantee. Libraries, perhaps due to the poor dependency management situation, tend more than other language ecosystems to avoid breaking changes, or at least hide them behind different import paths. Go has arguably the least dynamic, most boring ecosystem among popular languages today!

Compared to Java or PHP? Or did you mean "trendy" rather than popular?

  Yes, controlled for age, I think Go is even more static and boring than Java or PHP.

    I don't know much about the Go ecosystem but this makes me want to try it. You can't really control for age though... how does it compare to Rust in terms of stability (a language of similar age and scope)?
    - sagichmal 10y ago
      Vastly vastly more stable. Incomparable; night and day.
