Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • It took me a while to get into Go (definitely still learning), but it's been pretty incredible to be able to migrate my shell scripts over to Go with Cobra.
  • i think Go is great,not just for writing backends.
  • I love the simplicity of htmx and working with Go on the backend for state.
  • Personally I'd use go, very efficient, easy to deploy. And in my experience go codebases tend to be well maintainable, it's very straightforward no-nonsense code.
  • The blue they use is stellar.

Cons

  • Used to own the moonphase one, but cannot get past the feeling that GO is kind of homage to ALS, then sold.
  • I’ve been working with Go for the last 6 months or so, and honestly I don’t like it as much as I wanted to
  • The GO is too thick imo. It’s a non starter. I would find the thickness acceptable but not ideal in a dive watch but not in a dressy watch without a large bezel.
  • Like the big date more on the GO but I do prefer the indices of the JLC versus Roman numerals. But then again the GO seems to have a little more personality… ;)
  • I have the go and only make milk drinks for myself. Not recommended if you want to make multiple milk drinks for guests

Go is becoming more and more popular and was used for things like Docker and Kubernetes.
