> Go is among the most high-paying technologies

I like go just fine, and I'm learning it as we speak. But I think the high pay scale has more to do with *where* it's being used more than anything else.

Go is very popular in SV, whereas most fortune 500 and other legacy companies are java world.

My issue is more with this current obsession that everything must be beginner friendly. The fact is beginners don't stay beginners very long, so it's a dumb group to optimize for.
