I think your last paragraph is key here. Go is a simple language, which makes it practical for large projects, with many collaborators, some of whom might be fresh out of school. Google must have benefited internally a lot by Go.
- pmoriarty 7y agoThink of how much more benefit they'd have had, had they chosen an even simpler language like Scheme.
- ncmncm 7y agoExactly. Scheme has not been a success in part because it lacks needed features. Go has just enough for its uses, and no more. It's not powerful enough for really serious projects, but (1) there are already other languages for those, and (2) the overwhelming majority of projects aren't.
