I've always considered Google Trends to be a dubious source of *actual* trending and usage. Maybe I'm missing something but isn't it just based on searches, not usage.
Go is absolutely fine because it is a far better approach than Python for most things and people are realizing it, they might not be searching for it. One recent indicator was when Dropbox announced it's port to all Go code base (from Python) and the same week that Guido tweeted his retirement (from Dropbox). As more and more engineers and developers with insight share why and how more will reach the mainstream. Focusing on how "popular" the language is seems counter-productive to me --- “Mr. Rob” Muhlestein /^((Found|Teach|Hack)er|(Men|Jani)tor|C\w+O)$/ r...@robs.io • skilstak.io ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ On Wednesday, January 15, 2020 5:18 PM, Liam <networkimp...@gmail.com> wrote: > My point is that Go should be rising, since Java & C# are falling.
