"The problem with Go is that it wasn't designed to implement any large projects" What? Uh no. That's exactly what it was designed for. Big projects at Google. It has been stated by the creators of Go multiple times. The simplicity of Go helps in many ways that are not immediately obvious. You always know how memory is laid out in a struct, so you know how much memory you're copying with every instruction. You always know when you're generating garbage, so you can take steps to avoid it when it matters. In general, everything your code tells the computer to do in Go is very obvious, so you can actually reason about what your code does on the small scale and not just on the big scale. And yet, it does this without the added unsafety of C, and without all the enormous complexity of C++. And it does that in a way that you just can't achieve with Java's "everything is an object". That's why people are flocking to Go. Because it has Java's ease of writing with C's ease of tweaking, and yet fixes a lot of the inherent problems in both languages.
