Ted meant that Go has a decent story for this particular use case, not that everybody uses it because of that. I think that you meant to say "distant from my reality" instead of "distant from reality", because otherwise your statement does exactly what you strawman Ted's into saying.

He says "succeeded", isn't that the same thing you are arguing against?
Not quite, I am against the notion that everybody uses Go for one reason. But I also think that the reason you gave would not be true if goroutines and channels, or some other easy to use concurrency abstraction, were not a primary fixture of the language.
