Odd take, golang was designed by Google for their needs. It has very little uptake amongst hobbyist devs and is nearly entirely used by professional devs. In my experience hobbyist devs focus primarily on javascript/python.
Just think about golang as the next generation's Java. The same strong points (concurrency, GC, "simplicity" for junior developers), the same egregious mistakes (generics alone prove it for me), the same BigCo backing, the same undeserved early popularity.
Java was novel back then and managed to live up to its hype.
Go isn’t novel, and doesn’t provide anything new compared to even Java 1.1.
