Go has been very stable for quite some time now. There is a backwards compatibility guarantee while it stays in 1.x. Your old code will still build with new versions of Go. As for optimization, yes, it will get faster and better... I don't see why that's a drawback? I don't really know what you mean by "big industry". Canonical's Juju is written in Go. Docker is written in Go. Iron.io is written in Go. Cloudflare and Youtube use Go. Lots of companies use Go. CodeIgniter and Laravel are web frameworks (which happen to be written in PHP). That's not even a valid comparison to Go, which is a programming language.
