I guess it's like Trump saying, "I'll take Greenland too..."

There is a proverb in Turkish that means “One madman (ein Chinese) threw a stone into a well, forty wise men couldn't get it out.” This discussion is a bit like that.

Turkish proverb: "Bir deli bir kuyuya taş atmış, kırk akıllı çıkaramamış."

Previously, golang sub reddit came to the top in golang searches. The first title on the subreddit was "Why people hate Go?" was the title. Now go.dev comes first and reddit is below without title.

When you search reddit golang, the title continues to come first.

There is a tragicomic story that I think is related to this question.

Quote from Ian Lance Taylor (Google Principal Engineer)

"Now a bit of personal history. The Go project was started, by Rob, Robert, and Ken, as a bottom-up project. I joined the project some 9 months later, on my own initiative, against my manager's preference. There was no mandate or suggestion from Google management or executives that Google should develop a programming language. For many years, including well after the open source release, I doubt any Google executives had more than a vague awareness of the existence of Go (I recall a time when Google's SVP of Engineering saw some of us in the cafeteria and congratulated us on a release; this was surprising since we hadn't released anything recently, and it soon came up that he thought we were working on the Dart language, not the Go language.)"

You are right. But until last weekend, it continued to appear. It currently does not appear in queries made within Germany.

Why people in Google hate Go?

When you search "golang" on google for a long time, the question "Why people hate Go?" comes up at the top.

Now the blog post "A new way to bring garbage collected programming languages efficiently to WebAssembly" written by the team of V8 (JavaScript and WebAssembly engine) on the official website of Google has appeared.

https://v8.dev/blog/wasm-gc-porting

When I saw in the first paragraph of the blog that "we will get into the technical details of how GC languages such as Java, Kotlin, Dart, Python, and C# can be ported to Wasm" the question "Why people in Google hate Go?" arose

The real joke, I guess, is that hundreds of people are talking about this.

Life was, in a way, colored by the mystery involved. With every innovation that comes, there are also things that it eliminates.

I don't understand why someone who has so much open source information, has the intelligence to learn C-level languages, and has a certain experience in the industry, would ask such a question.

The interesting thing is that the following sentence is said years after it was decided to eliminate vfp.

"It's my hope that in five to 10 years, programming languages simply will have queries as a concept"

The article I read years ago. I could not find that article, I found a similar one.

C # creator Anders Hejlsberg made a statement a few years after the .net platform came into being, recognizing that data was very important and admitting that they were developing linq.

It is too early to happy. I think the reason of dart popularity in the last month is Dart WM 2017.
