I think it is kind of a bummer that there is such low use among hobbyists and learners. I believe some of Go's greatest strengths are its clarity and simplicity. It is one of the better languages for both learners and hobbyists. I'm not saying there aren't other good one's, but languages with fewer paths to a single end are great for learners not to get stuck bikeshedding their projects.
There's probably a pretty significant sample bias at play here too. Do hobbyists find and answer these surveys?
That’s true. I suppose this shows more what proportion of respondents are hobbyists rather than what proportion of hobbyists use go. Obvious oversight on my part.
