You know the rule for a new language. There are few developers, but those are one of the best.

That's not a rule, but an unproven assumption repeated mostly by devs that use new languages.

Yeah, new languages will probably attract their fair share of hipsters and "rock stars".

They might not be the best, but you can be sure they are able to code. They would get exposed pretty quickly in small communities, if not.

IMHO, new languages are dominated by people that are not the best, but are on their way, as they will spend an inordinate amount of time learning from the best in older languages out of necessity. The arrogant go devs of today are likely to be the jaded experts of tomorrow, as they will be forced to learn in ways that devs on an established platform rarely must.

Personally, i take it as a good occasion to finally learn Go.

That was a BIG BIG disappointment for me. I assume the UI frameworks on Go are not on the same level as would be available for C/C++. Also I suspect portability is an issue.

probably a good share of both
