So they wanted out in 2020 and they’re still on in 2022. So either the language isn’t really that bad or they have an attention deficit?

- richbell 5y agoEh, plenty of people get stuck using technologies they hate. Perhaps the OP is forced to use it for work, or already put the time and effort into building something and cannot afford to rebuild it from scratch.

- jrockway 5y agoI'm someone who wants to write Go 100% of the time at work, and I haven't really found a lot of companies that are doing this. All the cool kids have moved on to Rust. All the legacy code is Python/Ruby/Typescript. There is the niche in the k8s ecosystem, but I've already written all the code I need to integrate with the k8s ecosystem ;) All that's left to do are write 2000 copy-pasted operators for running super legacy apps on OpenShift, it feels like. But even with that in mind, it's not that hard to find. Whatever tech stack you like, there is a company in every industry hiring software engineers to work with that set of tools. There is just so much software in the world, it's strictly a numbers game. And if there's some industry you like that doesn't have the tech stack you want, why not start your own company? You're reading "startup news" after all ;)
