Building Web Apps in Go

Thanks. Right, generics is a big one. But isn't Go actually being used for system programming? At least that what I think of when I think of Golang. Maybe the scales have tipped and writing api/microservices is the larger use case now?

I don't know. All I know is this [possibly dated] quote from Rob Pike:

"Although we expected C++ programmers to see Go as an alternative, instead most Go programmers come from languages like Python and Ruby. Very few come from C++"

Maybe Python and Ruby programmers are adopting Go to do system programming, but that isn't my impression.
