I think Go is meant to be used mostly on 64 bit servers.
There aren't many people using Go on 32 bit systems. That's why there is
(was?) a big memory leak on these systems which wasn't caught early on.
There aren't many people using Go, period.
Don't know about this, but "Programming in Go" is a bad book (talks about
OO in Go and the author was clearly paid by number of words) but has a
higher ranking on Amazon than "The D Programming Language".
The book was released only in March; newer books usually have their
highest rank during their first months. Also, TDPL has a paperback and a
Kindle edition, which "compete" in rank with each other.
As an aside, Gedankenexperiment: imagine D were created at Google and Go
were created by Walter. How would they have fared? I honestly think
things would have been quite, um, different. I believe quite strongly is
Go wouldn't have received any attention, and D would have been a riot.
And all the news sites and programmer blogs are nearly silent regarding D.
I agree that that's a problem, and it starts with us.
