Well, they thought Go would be an alternative to C++ (1) which has never really been the most popular website backend language.
I'm glad it's working out for you, but I don't think it's a stretch to say it wasn't really designed for it. On its own, that doesn't mean it's a bad fit; but I agree with your parent and think it's awful for this type of stuff.

- xdfgd0ig0dg 8y agoHighly outdated to point out Go would be an alternative to C++. It has been most popular in web-dev, with alot of people switching to Go from Python, PHP or Ruby. Go does web really really well.
- apta 8y agoIt turned out to be more of a replacement for Python for places where you need speed. Then again, a JVM or .NET language would probably be better.
