Go is pretty much a better-in-every-way replacement to that entire cluster of developer-friendly languages like Ruby, Python, Node.js etc. A startup in 2023 would need to have pretty good reasons to not start in Go.

Agreed. Although I like Rust and modern Java too.

Humorously I was just in a conversation within "a startup in 2023" about how Go is not working all that well. Of course opinions vary, but I thought it was an interesting counterpoint to your comment.

For my part, my intuition is that my last project, in java, seemed to be more productive than the current project in go, and another current project, in python, also seems to be working better. But there are so many variables, it's impossible to untangle causality.

Missing language features, limited standard library, especially limited libraries for data processing.
