Wasn't a comment on the status quo, but rather the future. I think the Go trend confirms my point: an isolated group of programmers have been able to adopt Go for that kind of infrastructure, but outside of those shops most people are quite determined never to use Go and rant about it a lot. In the same way, Go will be replaced by FP and app developers will not go near it.
