Developers say Google's Go is 'most sought after' programming language of 2020

  > Microsoft's Visual Studio Code (VS Code) is the most widely used code editor among Go developers. That surprised me. I would have expected that the Go people would not be the types to flock to the Microsoft developer ecosystem.

    Anecdotally, I think there's a difference from early/core Go adopters who tended to be more from a Unix background vs. the majority that "want to learn" go who're choosing VS Code not because of the Microsoft ecosystem but more so because of its lightweight but IDE like environment. In other words I doubt the fact that there's any correlation between text editor choice and the desire to learn go.

      I disagree, I used Vim and jumped to VSCode. I know more Java/enterprise guys jumping more towards Goland - the Jetbrains ide that encourages poor formatting

  No where in the article they mentioning rust. While some time ago the same kind of research showed rust was the most sought after language.
