But no one is suggesting Go for your web browser or IDE.
Go is brilliant for faceless fast-response highly-concurrent situations - like APIs and the like.
It's also absurd to accuse Google of not caring about performance when they can search the wealth of information on the Internet in milliseconds.

There's a big difference between folks who really, deeply care about sub-ms level latencies ( like this guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9twUcX1Zp0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9twUcX1Zp0 ) are not the same folks pushing Go.
