Almost all users of (89%) are using it for work, great testament to the growth of the language.
Heavy adoption from dynamic languages.
Most wanted improvements, generics (surprise!), and package versioning/dependency management (in the works).
Concern about finding developers, how do you feel about the pool of developers?
Vim / VSCode seem to be the top pics for editor.
When asked what libraries are still missing, the most common request by far was a library for writing GUIs. Another popular topic was requests around data processing, analytics, and numerical and scientific computing.
55% of respondents expressed interest in contributing in some way to the Go community and projects. Unfortunately, relatively few agreed that they felt welcome to do so (3.3:1) and even fewer felt that the process was clear (1.3:1)
