I also had the same weird feeling (see my post elsewhere in the thread).

I think Go's just still too immature for most people to invest deeply in. Production code can have a lifespan measured in years or even decades, so you want to use a language that's stable and mature, and you want to know that it's going to be around at least as long as your application. Things will change once the 1.0 Stable release rolls around, and people will really start dipping their feet in (and those people who have been dipping their feet might take a dive).



Yeah. And of course Go doesn't satisfy everything on that list either. But it does satisfy most of it with just the standard library.

Go 1 should solve most of the big problems, currently libraries need to keep up with weekly releases and packages are still being moved around.
