I love Go, but the lack of adoption in business world is a huge problem. Seems to be a niche for infrastructure and utilities. 99% of the jobs I see are Java or Python.
A third party could take it on, but that would require a different governance structure for the project. Outside entities have little influence now.

> The most frustrating thing about Go isn't even the language, it is the community for me. It is very business/corporate focused. Everything is all about Kubernetes/cloud. I apply for conferences/meetups non-stop, but never have any luck. It is always the same company reps. I am envious of the Rust community here, but maybe grass is always greener on the other side? As someone who's been writing Go full-time for over…
I think you hit on something that so many miss and it's the tooling for the job, as it were. Go and Rust are fundamentally different tools designed for fundamentally different tasks. While it's possible to use them for the same tasks, it's much more difficult. I would HATE writing a full and secure operating system in Go, while writing back end systems in Rust is doable, but at an unnecessarily slower pace than Go.
Looks like GOPATH is finally going away and a go.mod will be required. Time to update those old projects I guess ...

I had different opinion than guy who joined the Go team in 2019 (Ian Lance Taylor). I was banned from their github repo, my AdSense sites were removed from Google's index, my AdSense CPC dropped by 2/3. My github account was "flagged" aka disabled from being seen in public. I was on github for 7 years. I received nonsensical "not in accordance to policies" messages from AdSense all of a sudden when that happened aka…

Looked for codegen utils on Github a while back -- but found nothing useful. Any public utils you'd recommend?
I love using text/template directly for codegen. Its really easy in my experience to create sophisticated tools using it + some go functionality. The trick is learning what gen problems are best solved in text templates and whats best solved in go functions. A big advantage of using text/template for codegen is you can just write the code you want to generate and it looks like real go code. Really easy to maintain co…
1. The {{}} pairs confuse editor syntax coloring (in emacs, anyway).
2. Expansions that introduce or drop line breaks will cause the runtime/dlv to report line numbers that disagree with the pre-gen source you need to correct.

Next on the list: error handling. Which is absolutely not a problem, and works very very very well as is. Then again, one can hope that maybe by 2025 :) https://github.com/golang/go/issues/32437 https://github.com/golang/go/issues/32437#issuecomment-51203... https://github.com/golang/go/labels/error-handling
My opinion on this is not popular but I absolutely love the way go handles errors. I love that errors are returned by functions and then immediately handled. I prefer it to the try/catch paradigm where the error is maybe handled somewhere up the call stack

There's a big gap in trends between new-wave "tech companies" and "enterprise companies". It's hard to cleanly define these categories aside from culture, but Go is plenty popular in the former (along with lots of other languages), and Java remains prevalent in the latter. Sounds like maybe Python spans both.
