> I consider Go not to be a systems programming language — a title much better earned by languages like C and Rust. Rather, Go is the best-in-class for a new breed of software: an Internet programming language. The wealth of network protocols implemented efficiently, concisely, and correctly in its standard library, combined with its clever mixed cooperative/pre-emitive multitasking model, make it very easy to write scalable internet-facing software. Agree! I've been programming with Python for the past 6 years using Django and have now fully committed to writing Go using only the standard library. It's a great language for web-development and would highly recommend it to anyone.
