Is go really used a lot? I know some larger corporations use it but I don't hear much about it otherwise. The most obvious plus side I hear about is the small memory footprint and fast boot time which makes it good for functions-as-a-service. It is also getting generics know which makes it sound like the simplicity was a lie or will be a lie.
