Has Go become the new PHP? Every now and then I see an article complaining about Go's shortcomings.

>>figmer+Ta
No, this has been the case as long as Go has been around, then you look and its some C or C++ developer with specific needs, thats okay, its not for everyone.

>>gianca+kb
Go was announced as a replacement for C & C++ so I think it's reasonable to compare it to that.

It was intended as a as a replacement for C & C++ for Google's use case of network services btw.

Not really, no one at other other than the original authors though of that, the authors had an issue with C++ compile times and were sponsored by their manager to work on this Go side project of theirs.

Google's networking services keep being writen in Java/Kotlin, C++, and nowadays Rust.
