Go is the future of server side programming. I don't consider that to be an exaggeration. Node is not the future. Node is an interesting technical achievement, but programming in javascript on the server is not going to create the most robust environment.
I think you should definitely ask about Go, but given that you're new, unless you're going into a technical lead position, be aware that they may have already made up their minds, and might not be open to different ideas. People tend to get stuck on a single idea once it gets into their heads.
- twic 13y agoA language with static typing but without generics is not the future of anything.
- NateDad 13y agoGenerics generics. I've written Go code for 40+ hours a week for 10 months and only missed generics a couple times for some minor functionality. That, and they are not anathema to Go. The Go devs want to implement generics, they just have more important things to do right this second.
