Not really. Everyone used Git and Github 5 years ago too. That's why it was so annoying that Go chose to use Google Code for everything, although not surprising considering it's a Google project.
- DannyBee 12y ago"5 years ago too" No, they didn't. Github only started in April of 2008, or 6 years ago. Your implication is that they took over the world in a year. They didn't. I actually have seen the growth graphs of both before, and what you say is not even close to true.
- Laremere 12y agoWell, at the time of Go's open source announcement, Github was 1.5 years old. Go existed before that too, looking at the dates the first whiteboard doodles about what would become the Go programming language were done about a month before Github development started. Yes, Github was starting to thrive when Go was announced, but you could hardly say it had proven itself as much as it has now.
