Go was originally conceived as a niche language. And if it does what we need, then I don't think we need to be particularly bothered if other languages are more "popular".
But when looking at language popularity, I am not sure that the number of google searches is the most meaningful metric. Lines of code on github could be more interesting. FWIW: Githubs octoverse shows shows a 147% growth in Go usage last year. And more interesting growth stats can be found on the Go blog https://blog.golang.org/8years -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
