Other than angular, what's an example of a developer ecosystem Google created on purpose very successfully relative to its peers.

@golang's used by docker which took over the world, most people deploy their stuff on docker or kubernetes now. Go code runs on every server -
So does bash, Perl, etc. Golang is immortal, but short of aspirations. More niche than originally desired.
-
I recall
@golang was originally envisioned as a systems level language, like C. Relative to that aspiration I'd say it's doing great. -
can confirm this from original announcement: "Go is a great language for systems programming and writing servers"https://opensource.googleblog.com/2009/11/hey-ho-lets-go.html …
-
that's way more general than the niche it landed in. Also even go adherents stopped calling it a "systems programming language"
-
not the writing servers part though.
-
I don't think Go is a language for writing services. It's a language for orchestrating containers and writing microservices.
-
@caddyserver is pretty awesome, etcd, Kubernetes, Docker Swarm are servers, so is@cockroachdb etc. - 10 more replies

Like someone below mentioned, a more fair comparison would be to things like Rust and D, not just all languages
-
If you compare Go to D, you're admitting it's not very popular ;) Golang originally wanted to be a very general purpose lang. Didn't pan out
-
Not sure about that? It was inspired by problems with C++. Didn't supplant it but seems to be doing better than other C++ competitors.

This one mixes all the languages into one list. I don't think it's fair to count e.g. JavaScript, C, R, Lua and Matlab as "peers".
