Is google's golang better than java?

Question

i read a report on programming that users having knowledge of golang are getting higher salaries than those knowing java or c++..

Answer 1

Go does NOT require virtual environment like Java. Go compiles into binary THAT CAN RUN ANYWHERE. Go is faster than Java. Go is elegant. Go is easy to learn. Go is powerful.

Answer 2

Yes!

Answer 3

This is a very incorrect assumption.

Even if a certain language programmers receive better payments than other language's programmers it doesn't mean that the language is better.

You are getting paid higher if there are less people who can do your job. This applies not only to coding.

So consider this - there aren't as many GoLang coders as there are Java and C++ ones. Not only that but there is a high chance that the vast majority of GoLang programmers are Google employees - thus having high salaries.

There are many other simple and logical facts as well.

Additionally bare in mind that both Java and C++ are not only system languages unlike GoLang. So comparing between GoLang and Java and trying to draw conclusions whether one is better isn't right. Mainly because they have different purposes, followed then by the fact that your judgement criteria is an inaccurate one.

Peace.
