I’m not sure Go is what I’d call a fad. Is Java a fad? Its early years were much more hype driven than Go has been at any time during the 10 years Go has been around. Python? JavaScript? Ruby? Rust? What I like about the Go community is that it appears to be very measured. Unlike many other communities where the way a language is used becomes bigger than the language. Like Spring and Java. Rails and Ruby. Or Rust and “look I reimplement X despite nobody giving two shits”. :-) (My big disappointment with Rust is that it hasn’t found its niche. I’d like that niche to be embedded operating systems. We could certainly use Rust there, because C, C++ and the utterly shit Python-junk used to stich things together is just painful . Competing for attention in server development or any other area that has very strong contenders is clearly an uphill battle)
