If you prefer Go, and are on a Java team, does arguing with people that are unrelated to your work on the internet change your working environment?
- Can_Not 6y agoIndeed lists 30k Java jobs and 2k golang jobs. OP has a vested interest in marketing their preferred language to increase the availability of jobs for that preferred language.
- void_mint 6y agoYou kinda skipped the relevant part of my question. Does arguing on the internet with Java fans increase Go's usage at hypothetical person's work?
- erik_seaberg 6y agoIf more people in the industry appreciate concise and powerful languages that reward deep expertise, I am more likely to find paid work where I can be happy and productive in the future. I started in C, and it’s pretty alarming to see an impoverished language gaining market share after years of progress; that’s why I argue the bar should be getting higher for new languages in production.
