OwnCloud Switches from PHP to Go

mhm i don't think so.

But it wont't be possible to run it on a cheap shared Host since the usually don't support running arbitrary binaries. I think they are aiming towards a more professional/corporate customer base. But since nextcloud is still a thing its not a big loss for the average nerd.

And getting it working on some of the “enterprise”-class Linux distributions like CentOS requires some hoop-jumping, as PHP isn’t being kept up to date on those. That’s really the fault of the distribution, but the brunt of it falls on the admins to fix by installing PHP from other sources, some of which are questionable or require a lot of explanations to suit-wearing compliance-types. Having it written in something easier to wrangle would be nice, especially if that also passes through to Nextcloud.
