Go is certainly not the "new Java" at Google. In fact, Go pretty much failed at any wide adoption at Google. Go is mainly successful outside Google.
- pavlov 9y agoI didn't mean to imply Go was meant to be a new Java. I meant that Thompson had the chance to develop a new language under Google's auspices, and that Gosling might do the same at Amazon. That's all.
- treehau5 9y ago> Go pretty much failed at any wide adoption at Google Interesting, first time I am hearing this claim. Do you have any good sources for this? Most of the Google engineers I know of speak highly of Go.
