I’m in the same boat. I’ve been using PHP and writing web services for a long time and I can be productive quickly. I still use the language professionally too, which keeps my working knowledge of it oiled. Go is a pleasure to work with, however, so I’m exercising that more and more. I loved VB for a long time but finally moved away from it after the VB 6.0 years, primarily because my daily driver switched to Linux and I stopped writing software for windows. I now use a Mac but I tinker with Linux. My family has so much trouble with Windows I’m very unlikely to ever try it again and it’s been 23 years anyway.
