He later regret it but it's too late everybody just bench Go with any system language there is out there.
Go is better off as a middleware language that rival that of Node.JS (javascript) imo. Everybody see Node.JS (javascript) as somesort of web dev language in the same vein as Ruby, Python and PHP. But the web frameworks out there that I've seen are mostly incomplete or just very bare bones compare to RoR, Django, and Laravel. Express is very very barebone and you wouldn't prototype with that or do anything quick with that. You can argue that would use Node.JS for long term stuff and my counter point would be if your code have to survive for more than 6 months then use a type language. I don't believe a dynamically loose type language such as Javascript is suitable. Go would be better in this regard.
I'd like to see Rust vs Ada vs C++
