To me Go is competing with JavaScript, not Rust. If you're considering writing a CRUD app in Node.js, you can do it in Go, and it'll be equally easy, and maybe run faster.
But if you're writing a driver, codec, kernel, firmware, or even a library that's supposed to be usable with more than one language, Go is just not a good fit.

- mpfundstein 6y agosorry. but if you really choose to write a simple CRUD app in go, I feel very sorry for you. Go is terrible for this kind of stuff. On the other hand, if you are about to write a nice daemon that needs to do some difficult stuff and C is a bit too low level for you (or a deadline is pressing), then go might be just be the perfect tool for it. I use a lot of languages, and golang usually only ever competes with C or C++. For the scripting/CRUD-like stuff i Usually still prefer NodeJS or python.
