With the availability of Kotlin, Groovy or (somewhat limited I believe, but still) Scala on Android, what advantages does Go offer?
I was under impression that it's more of a backend language, tailored to the needs of backend devs
I understand the crossplatform argument - write a platform-agnostic library in Go, and use it in your iOS and Android app etc. but it doesn't answer "why Go, of all languages".
It's an honest question, not a flamebait. Is there anything specific about Go that makes it well suited for mobile environment, or is it like a using a great shiny truck to deliver pizza "because you can" : )
