@slashdot May be most "popular", but I'm sure glad the likes of @prologic is a Gopher, or my Raspberry Pi would probably be creaking and groaning right now if yarnd was completely done in Python 😜
@eldersnake The TIOBE Index is to be "taken with a grain of salt" though, it doesn't accurately reflect reality. For example the number of piece of software and instructure now written in Go that now power some of the world largest pieces of tech is well _literally insane_. When I left Facebook in July 2018 Go was the 4th most used language there. It is also used heavily at Google where it was invented primarily to build a better language that was the right mix between low-level and high-level that allowed graduates to be proficient on the job.

I'm of course paraphrasing Rob Pike here and bits/pieces of Go's history, but you get the idea.

@prologic Yeah I hear you. While I don't have much experience with it, I'm yet to see anyone have any real gripes with Go. Hell, even the Suckless guys seem to be okay with it! Which says something.
@slashdot @eldersnake Also yes Python would haven’t eaten your Raspberry Pi for breakfast 😆 Admitedly the folks that build and maintain the CPython interpreter are some clever folk and write very highly optimized C to interpret Python but nonetheless it is still an interpreted language 🤣

@eldersnake Yeah there’s a very good reason for that. If I can dig up a slide deck I found some time ago that talks about Go I’ll post about it here 👌
