Other than my own experience, I've seen some data that led me to believe that Go is more pervasive than I previously perceived:
Go started out with a share of 8% in 2017 and now it has reached 18%.
In addition, the biggest number of developers (13%) chose
Go as a language they would like to adopt or migrate to.

Regardless of variance, I wouldn't call 18% tiny. Specially given the trend:

- the_mitsuhiko 7y agoThe same survey claims that Go is more popular than C. I would be interested to know how well the Jetbrains user base represents the overall developer community.
- hu3 7y ago> The same survey claims that Go is more popular than C None of the two surveys claim that. Feel free to point out where it does.
- the_mitsuhiko 7y agoFrom the jetbrains link you posted. 18% used Go last year, 17% used C.
- hu3 7y agoOk so your definition of popular is usage in the last 12 months in this case. And by 1%. C is a niche low level language. Doesn't surprise me that a higher level language is used more often.
