Comparing PHP with Go it's a bit too much, don't you think? Type system, standard library, concurrency, compilation, packing ... I hardly find similarities.

- themihai 9y agoI can't agree though. I believe using that rationale same could be said about C and many other languages...If that's the case then, should we expect a "fix" for the master programmers (i.e. Go++)? Let's hope that won't happen. Go is nothing like PHP. It was an attempt to modernise C though I believe it failed because Go can't do realtime.
- nine_k 9y agoC is far from perfection, but it's very small, fit well to the hardware of its day, and had a colossal "killer app", Unix. A fix for master programmers is e.g. Rust, and a bunch of GC-based languages, from newcomers like Crystal and Nim to the battle-hardened JVM ecosystem, or Erlang/Elixir. The way C++ did not displace C, or the way Ruby and Python did not displace PHP, these guys will not displace Go.
