Using the Go programming language for a web project?

Question

go

I mainly write in JavaScript (front-end, back-end) I wanted to write my own web application, of course I planned Node.js + Express.JS, Sails, Meteor or something like that. After playing with Go for a few days, I thought, why not use it as a language for the back-end. Can it be used now, or should we wait for future releases (the latest version is 1.4 at the moment, which came out a few days ago)?

Answer 1

Many people think it 's about time. Back in the Russian Federation, Yandex uses it in production , and so do I. I am satisfied.

Answer 2

FireGM is right. There are not enough batteries, there is little information on the net. I myself sat with him for probably a month - I did one web project "purely in Go". Development is sooooo slow. The same thing I wanted to do on Go, then on Rails, and then on Flask (for fun) I did in a couple of days. Yes, hello worlds on Go look nice and are done quickly, but once you dig deeper, things don't look so rosy. For now, I would give Go an additional role of "accelerator" for a project written on other platforms. Any admin panels, parts that do not require super speed are best written using popular frameworks.
