📊 JetBrains has published The state of Go survey results. A few highlights:

  • China 🇨🇳 has the biggest ratio of Go devs, 16%. Then Japan 🇯🇵, Russia 🇷🇺, Ukraine 🇺🇦.

  • Still isn’t the most popular language but already in top 10.

  • Used mostly for web apps and CLI tools.

  • 82% of devs on go modules 🎉

  • most popular routers are gorilla/mux and stdlib

  • gin web framework is pretty popular, 46%. BTW, that means, more people use httprouter than the survey says (16%). Probably, they just don’t know that it is in gin under the hood.

  • testify is used only by 13% of devs. IDK how others survive.
