No. I don't see any benefit of using it over java or JVM languages like clojure/Scala which have huge ecosystem attached to them and now even clojure supports Go like concurrency too.
- thescrewdriver 13y agoI've actually seen more Scala adoption than Go. In my experience Scala is getting used in production whereas Go is something people play around with from time to time.
- ixmatus 13y agoBecause there are multiple mature web frameworks for Scala, I think. Go has yet to produce one (Revel? I think is coming close). I think web frameworks help drive adoption. I see that happening with Haskell too (as web frameworks mature more people get into it through that).
- MetaCosm 13y agoCompare Go in early 2014 to Scala early 2006, that is when they were about the same age.
- thescrewdriver 13y agoIf it really is set to "take over the world" it will need to be growing subtantially faster than 2006's Scala.
- enneff 13y agoOne major obvious benefit Go has over Clojure or Scala is simplicity.
- thescrewdriver 13y agoOne major obvious benefit Clojure and Scala have over Go is having features developers need and want.
- frou_dh 13y agoThat's dangerous territory, given Clojure creator Rich Hickey has been staking a compelling claim to exactly that for years: http://www.infoq.com/presentations/Simple-Made-Easy http://www.infoq.com/presentations/Simple-Made-Easy
