Many organizations and teams have adopted Go for its focus on concurrency and efficiency, and Heroku is no different. Although it’s no longer a “new” language, diving into Go can be intimidating, whether you’re a seasoned programmer or a new hire. Johnny Boursiquot, Ed Muller, and Rishabh Wason discuss the joys and challenges of learning Go, applying it to projects at Heroku, and teaching colleagues how to write idiomatic code.

Languages used for IT infrastructure don’t have expiration dates. COBOL’s been around for 60 years—and isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. We maintain billions of lines of classic code for mainframes. But we’re also building new infrastructures for the cloud in languages like Go.

COBOL was a giant leap for computers to make industries more efficient. Chris Short describes how learning COBOL was seen as a safe long-term bet. Sixty years later, there are billions of lines of COBOL code that can’t easily be replaced—and few specialists who know the language. Ritika Trikha explains that something must change: Either more people must learn COBOL, or the industries that rely on it have to update their codebase. Both choices are difficult. But the future isn’t being written in COBOL. Today’s IT infrastructure is built in the cloud—and a lot of it is written in Go. Carmen Hernández Andoh shares how Go’s designers wanted a language more suited for the cloud. And Kelsey Hightower points out that languages are typically hyper-focused for one task. But they’re increasingly open and flexible.

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)

He shared what it was like to start open source development after 13 years of programming behind closed doors, and what it was like to have one of his first contributions (a bug fix) be reviewed by Dave Cheney (a very prominent Go developer).
