Coming from php to golang is insane, you will be very impressed by all the mature and insanely fast tooling.
For example I now have test suite running in about 0.3 seconds, where my last PHP (laravel) app took about 20 minutes testing similar stuff.
I do not understand how/why bots would replace apps. Perhaps I am narrow-minded about this, but personally I prefer to stay in (some) control of my devices and work-flow.
Cloud based bots are a sad situation, where end user is getting further out of control. But it doesn't have to be like this. Check out https://mycroft.ai/
We had a similar but smaller hype in customer support chatbots around y2k, which sort of died out when the tech did not meet the expectations.
This time around, however, it seems to me the tech has matured enough to actually survive the hype.
(I used to work building chat bots for several mid-large business around 2000-2002)
