Seems too many devs use go for something it is not meant for. Tried doing math calculations in go - not a good a idea. But for backend stuff like rest api, web servers, networking, sysadmin and devops tasks, it shines.
I mean, a lot of developers have or look for a golden hammer, coerce their favorite language in doing a task. And since every programming language is turing complete, it CAN work, but whether it's the most elegant is not guaranteed.
I mean for math, similarly, Java and co wouldn't work very well either.
Java is solidly mediocre at math, like everything else, but it does work. At least if by math you mean numeric/arithmetical programming, not an algebra system. I think I'd prefer Julia though.
