first I saw go I thought meh but with so many people saying good things about it makes go inevitably more interesting day after day. however I just feel like it's going to be like mongo. when it first got popular, people all moved to mongo as it miraculously solving all the problems. same thing happening with go now and after sudden disappear of all the mongo evangelists, this makes me doubtful about go obviously.

If Go did not have Google or Ken or Pike as names behind it, do you think it would have gone anywhere? It doesn't really offer anything special compared to more expressive and safer languages like Scala and Rust for instance. You can see it right here in the comments: someone said that Go is a memory safe language. It is not any more safer than Java is in that regard. We need languages that are safer than Java and Go.
