> Somewhere, however, that has been extrapolated to the idea that Go is a good language for writing web apps. I don't believe that's the case.

I have always had this feeling and thought why isn't more people speaking up about that.

For me it's a good improvement from C++ (and maybe C as well), somehow well-suited for systems programming.

I never understood how people can claim it to be natural "upgrade" from Python or Ruby. I have a feeling the opposite is actually the case. This of course is all in the web-development context, not in general one.
