Almost 10 years golang appears in the world. 10 years is not a short duration. I think if it is not popular until 2020, it will never be popular.
Golang is designed for cloud and internet areas. Really? The creators of golang have a lot of experience in C and C++. And golang borrows features from C and C++. But C and C++ do not fit the requirements of cloud and internet areas. Let's look at two popular programming languages java and php. What is the most important features of these two languages? Simple, ugly but practical... I find one feather: they are both not just programming languages but also platforms. They are almost the same in Windows and Linux. That's why java and php are very popular in recent days. C and C++ are just pure programming languages, not platforms. On Unix and Windows, C and C++ are very different. A developer of windows C++ is not a developer of UNIX C++, and a Linux C developer is not a Windows C developer. If golang wants to be widely used by developer all over the world before 2020, it must learn some thing from java and php, must be a programming-language-is-a-platform. Until now, programs written in golang still does not have binary distribution format like jar, dll or so. People have to share libraries by source code. It is so foolish. Yes, Golang is very like C and C++, which are only pure programming language, But this times, we need "language as/is platform" technologies, just like php and java. I have watched golang for many years, but never turn to it. Why? I think it is still semi-finished product. Creators of golang are researchers, not engineers, they worked too slow. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
