> In the short term Go may be stealing from Python and Node, but in the long term

Go is a niche language.As a niche language it will perform well in its niche, but it will never be as big as Java or C#. Go total lack of expressiveness makes it unfit for a wide range of applications.

Java is rigid, but I think version 8 makes it more enjoyable. But it will not make all the terrible java core apis and framework go away.They are still here.




Java was also a niche language. People never learn unfortunately.
