Why Golang is not popular?

Go is syntactically similar to C, but with memory safety, garbage collection, structural typing, and CSP-style concurrency. The language is often referred to as Golang because of its former domain name, golang.org , but the proper name is Go .

Unfortunately, Go lacks a lot of features by design , and sometimes it’s really annoying. Golang was meant to make development faster, but in a lot of situations, you are writing more code than you’d write using other programming languages.

Go has at least two compilers, gc and gccgo . The former was written in C, but is now written in Go itself. While the latter is a gcc frontend written mainly in C++. Go’s libraries are written in Go .
