And a huge and growing community of 3rd party libraries. I left .NET and Java for Go around 0.9 and since then I have seen Go flower into an ecosystem I am far more productive than. The Go devs have a bias against complexity, they hate Abstract Factory Factory Singletons :P, but that does have much impact on community developed libraries. The Go community does have a strong bias towards libraries and against frameworks, but IMHO, that is generally healthy. The only concrete example of what you are talking about is the current lack of generics support.</text><parent_chain><item><author>spriggan3</author><text>&amp;gt;  Golang seems really promising, but has a long way to go.

If you want C# you also get IIS, SQL Server, Windows, Azure, Visual Studio, Windows on your dev machine and I wouldn&amp;#x27;t be surprised if Exchange shows up somehow. You could use Mono, but then you were off the beaten path and on your own. When something new appeared from outside Microsoft, such as git, it wouldn&amp;#x27;t fit into the MS ecosystem for a while.&lt;p&gt;Now Microsoft seems to be changing its culture, but I can understand if people are weary.</text><parent_chain><item><author>spriggan3</author><text>&amp;gt;  Golang seems really promising, but has a long way to go.
