Should I start learning the Go programming language?

Question

go

What is your opinion on the Go programming language? Should it be used in real projects, what are the prospects for several years and how many products are already operating on it?

Answer 1

The language is new. Written on it "relatively" little. You won't be able to get into a Google-level startup. It’s better to take a Java full-stack coder there and teach Go in 2-3 weeks by yourself. Maybe there is something in freelancing. But there govnokod clean water.
Here is a list of Go projects: https://code.google.com/p/go-wiki/wiki/Projects
As you can see, these are all sorts of muscle wrappers, discrete libraries and text editors. It’s better to learn something more full-stack, and for the soul you can also code at home at the table. I don't mean "beware GO! It's Google! Evil Inc!" Go like Pascal. A lot of good things are written in Pascal: qweep, aimp, The KMPlayer. You can write your project on anything, but the uncle-employer will have his own opinion on this matter.

Answer 2

Costs. Good ones. Enough.
By the way, there will be a conference on Go in April www.gophercon.com/schedule

Answer 3

The syntax is certainly interesting, but it seems that Google was offended that Java bought Oracle and released a whole programming language instead of a framework for Java.
For example, does Go know how to Inter-Thread without locks? And Java can www.infoq.com/articles/High-Performance-Java-Inter... and there are either https://github.com/LMAX-Exchange/disruptor based on this principle. And judging by this, they will do performance goroutines https://code.google.com/p/disruptor/wiki/Performan...
So, Go, this is Google's attempt to file their Java with blackjack and whores :) Maybe that is burn out, or maybe not.
