Everything is about impression and perception. For example, I have observed that people treat me more seriously when I dress better than with the typical "jeans+tshirt" combo.
Now, we can say this is superficial bullshit, but at the end of the day, the way you dress influence people's perception of you.
So in my opinion, Go's new branding give it a more "serious" image and perhaps people unfamiliar with the language will be more inclined to consider it.
Again, it's superficial bullshit, but it is what it is.
- doctorstupid 8y agoIn this case the cliché brand identity is the jeans and t-shirt combo. Does hip branding not make a language seem juvenile? You talk about serious image, but surely you can't find more serious languages than those devoid of branding, like C and Lisp.
- pjmlp 8y agoIt helps when the language is the only path to write for a specific platform.
- candiodari 8y agoNeither C nor Lisp have any branding at all, do they ? Other than the moustache, and frankly, on that front Perl has got them beat.
- kazinator 8y agoFor C, it's basically the cover of the K&R2.
- remir 8y agoThe new logo is more serious than the gopher.
