!golang is failing to gain traction because google hasn't invested enough in library support.
about 11 months ago from web-
@zoowar Thats like saying C is hardly used because we've got C++.
-
@onedot What? C has always been more popular (or at least more used) than C++ http://www.tiobe.com/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.html
-
@zoowar No I mean, why should libraries make a difference, C doesn't have that much compared to other languages either.
-
@onedot For example, consider for xml. Compare http://www.xmlsoft.org/html/index.html to http://golang.org/pkg/xml/.
-
@zoowar To be fair, C preceded xml, so the C libraries matured along with the xml specifications. Golang doesn't have this luxury.
-
@zoowar But golang should compete with JVM langs in the enterprise. However, JVM langs have access to mature Java libs. Golang doesn't.
-
@zoowar Then again, why do people want everything in the language or in libraries nowadays.. What happened to actual programming?
