Very interesting. Has Go use faded at Google also? The initial thing I liked is that some things are made easier (concurrency) and it is a very quick language to learn (with my C/C++ background) and the small toolchain (no need to learn packager, linker, etc. it's all together.

Thanks for commenting.

I don't think I would use it for large things either but maybe for some small command-line tools (I run Ubuntu 20.04).

I think it is a very good language for scripting. Not for software development.
