Go is an interesting choice. I wonder if this will inspire or scare developers away.
- talloaktrees 13y agoprobably a good share of both
- hkdobrev 13y agoYou know the rule for a new language. There are few developers, but those are one of the best.
- RivieraKid 13y agoThat's not a rule, but an unproven assumption repeated mostly by devs that use new languages.
- outworlder 13y agoYeah, new languages will probably attract their fair share of hipsters and "rock stars". They might not be the best, but you can be sure they are able to code. They would get exposed pretty quickly in small communities, if not.
- hackula1 13y agoIMHO, new languages are dominated by people that are not the best, but are on their way, as they will spend an inordinate amount of time learning from the best in older languages out of necessity. The arrogant go devs of today are likely to be the jaded experts of tomorrow, as they will be forced to learn in ways that devs on an established platform rarely must.
- malka 13y agoPersonally, i take it as a good occasion to finally learn Go.
- kyberias 13y agoThat was a BIG BIG disappointment for me. I assume the UI frameworks on Go are not on the same level as would be available for C/C++. Also I suspect portability is an issue.
