Go really failed to appeal to a lot of systems programmers, despite their intentions. Go is picking up people who used untyped languages and still didn't accept that static typing does not mean java. They finally have a simplistic statically typed language that isn't java to use.
- tptacek 13y agoThis is more "Internet article of faith" than actual fact; it's something people say because it was said in some blog post once. For whatever it's worth to you, I've been a systems programmer since ~1995. The lingua franca of systems programming is C; Golang's type system is strictly superior to C.
