Again, just one engineer's opinion, but that's because most use cases for engineers are CRUD. If you don't have a CRUD problem, which is probably less than 10% of modern software engineering, Go falls on it's face.


You have it exactly backwards. Go is a particularly poor language for CRUD use cases (CRUD doesn’t care much about performance but it is very generic). Go shines for most non-CRUD applications.


Uber, Dropbox etc... rely heavily on Go and have much more complicated use case that your CRUD hello world.
