I'm not sure where the idea Go hasn't caught on for databases comes from. * https://awesome-go.com/#database https://awesome-go.com/#database * https://github.com/rust-unofficial/awesome-rust#database https://github.com/rust-unofficial/awesome-rust#database Rust was invented specifically to write a web browser, so that is a bit of an unfair comparison, but I would suggest that Go's lack of seamless inter-op with C is its biggest limiting factor in integrating into existing browser codebases as well as greenfield GUI applications. Additionally, Go's runtime is not well suited to OS development. I doubt the lack of an advanced optimizing compiler ever crosses anyone's mind as by the time that might become an issue they have already ruled out Go for its many other limitations.
