I'm not agreeing with that assessment but recently: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40997745 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40997745 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40184763 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40184763 Among others. Again I'm not saying I agree, I'm just saying you don't see the same with Go.

Off the top of your head, name 3 projects/apps that use Dart/Flutter, now do the same for go.

  If you cant name 3 projects/app that use Dart/Flutter that just shows your bias. Can you name 3 apps/projects that use COBOL? -- This is akin to asking, "Quick, name 3 books written in Persian. Huh, you cant name them? Must be a dead language"

    > Can you name 3 apps/projects that use COBOL? Does this imply that you see COBOL as having a trustworthy future, making it a great choice for a new greenfield application?

      the part of your sentence before the comma is not fully related to the part after it. iow, the first part does not imply the second part. a lang could have a trustworthy future for maintenance of existing apps, like in terms of support from vendors, while not being a very good choice for greenfield applications, due to not having modern language features and libraries. but there is so much cobol in critical infrastructure in the world that I don't think it is going away anytime soon. Google for some relevant threads on hn about it. there is a good chance that some services critically important to you and your family rely on software written in COBOL running on mainframes. just like for everyone else in the developed world and some of the developing world.

  There are probably more Flutter apps about than you’d think, and at least on Android you can look for yourself: https://x.com/kevmoo/status/1819112503722627286 https://x.com/kevmoo/status/1819112503722627286
