There's a big gap in trends between new-wave "tech companies" and "enterprise companies". It's hard to cleanly define these categories aside from culture, but Go is plenty popular in the former (along with lots of other languages), and Java remains prevalent in the latter. Sounds like maybe Python spans both.

If I look for golang jobs in NYC I see just one job in the whole city. Sure a few more in the surrounding area and a bunch remote, but just one job. https://www.dice.com/jobs?q=golang&location=New%20York%20City https://www.dice.com/jobs?q=golang&location=New%20York%20Cit..., NY,%20USA

  1) Due to covid its highly likely that many of the companies in NY are listing as remote rather than NY-based. 2) Just an opinion, but I would guess the majority of companies on Dice would trend towards older tech stacks. My employer has 4 open Go positions but is not found on Dice. - Angel.co shows 10 Go-related jobs in NYC - Linkedin shows 293 Go-related jobs in NYC

  Echoing others' points. The company I work for (fairly large tech company) uses Go, and is hiring in NYC, but has no roles listed on Dice. I know of at least two more definitely-not-small tech companies hiring in NYC that use Go, and their job listings say Go, but they have no job listings on Dice either. Seems there may be a "cultural divide" on where job listings for different types of companies/languages show up.

  This is reflective of the adoption of dice, not the adoption of Go... there are lots companies in NYC that hire engineers to develop in Go (Google and Uber immediately come to mind).
