Golang is already a top 15 language, I would call that truly popular.

- pron 7y agoNot really. It has a 0.6% market share in the US, and I would assume a much lower share elsewhere: https://www.hiringlab.org/2019/11/19/todays-top-tech-skills/ https://www.hiringlab.org/2019/11/19/todays-top-tech-skills/ I mean, it's popular, but I'm not sure it's a "safe language" just yet. Language popularity obeys a power law of sorts. Go is about 6x less popular than Ruby at the moment, and I don't know if I would count Ruby as a "safe language" either. So far, I haven't seen many Go programs meant to be used for the next, say, 15 or 20 years.
