And those companies generally use C++, Java, etc. in a much larger capacity.
- tapirl 6y agoThis not true for new companies, for example, Dropbox and Uber.
- apta 6y agoThose are more the exception than the norm, and their decisions to do so come at significant costs.
- tapirl 6y agoAt least from what I know, Go is an important factor making Dropbox/Uber/Cloudflare succeed. Go is absolutely not an exception in successful startups.
- apta 6y agoI know people in at least one of the companies you mentioned, and things look very different on the inside. They succeeded despite of the language, not because of it.
- tapirl 6y agoSurely, "it is not because of", every language is ok. But experienced programmers will choose the most suitable (most efficient, either in runtime performance and development speed/quality) one they think.
