I gave rational counter arguments and employment is pretty important too imo. It seems a lot of the anti-Go people tend to favor languages that no one gets paid

I gave rational counter arguments and employment is pretty important too imo. It seems a lot of the anti-Go people tend to favor languages that no one gets paid to use.
- thinbeige 9y agoYes, but the discussion wasn't about the employment situation and if--your tone was slightly inappropriate. You could have also written: "I've no experience with Elixir but your words catch my interest. The inferior Elixir enployment situation (compared to Go) held me back from Elixir. But I should give it a try." Same message and nobody loses his face.

- actsasbuffoon 9y agoI'm getting paid to write Elixir right now.
- jorgec 9y agoIn reality, Go is a language that practically no one gets paid to use. Go is niche and the few projects around here are short term.
- zimpenfish 9y agoI interviewed for two Go jobs in London last month that were specifically building up Go teams for long term projects. It's definitely getting less niche by the month.
- freeone3000 9y agoYou have the ability to choose Go - you could as easily have chosen Elixir.
- nine_k 9y agoYou should stick with Cobol. It paid the developers for 60 years, and has a very fair chance to continue commanding reasonably good salaries for another 20 or 30. Maintaining Cobol code is a chore, though, partly for the same reasons as Go code.
- di4na 9y agoPaid for Elixir full time, and there is definitely a market :)
