One thing I fully believe led to Go's adoption is its feature-rich standard library. SSL connections, JSON parsing, HTTP and the like are all things that would be a major impediment if it was up to the developer to find some generally well accepted 3rd party module on Github and hope it stays maintained and stable.
- nemo1618 7y agoGo's stdlib has spoiled me. It was the first language that I used in any serious capacity, and I just assumed that all languages had stdlibs that were more-or-less equivalent in terms of breadth and design. Sadly that is not the case. I find it hard to get excited about any new languages these days if it doesn't have a good stdlib. I think Go has really shifted people's expectations in that regard.
