Definitely sad to see Go get blacklisted and put on the “eventual replacement” list. The reasons, like Dart’s, make sense, but it’s still gotta be kick in the teeth for the Go team. I wonder how difficult it was for them to use it and if it was during one of Go’s “transitional periods.”
I wonder if Rust/Elixir will be the one to eventually replace it.
- calcifer 7y agoOne of the problems they've mentioned, large binaries, is being tracked [1] for the past 7 years and it's getting worse with every release. Not to mention compile times are still much longer than what they were pre-1.5 when the compiler was written in C.

- pjmlp 7y agoTo be fair to Go compile times, with them using C++ and Rust, that wouldn't be a show stopper.
