I thought I hinted that it was more a matter of available resources. The Go community is growing but if you're a lean startup looking for developers to get moving quickly, the pool for Python, PHP, Node & Ruby/Rails dwarfs that of Golang.
And to the other comment, yes, it's easy (and generally surprisingly pleasant) for experienced developers to pick up, but that's an investment.
- NateDad 12y agoAt Canonical, 2/3 of our developers on Juju hadn't written Go code before joining the team. They get up to speed in the first week, or often, even before their first day through their own efforts. The language is incredibly easy to pick up. It's basically zero cost if you have at least a few devs with Go experience to answer the occasional question.
