If the author thinks that Go is a "tried and true" (his words, not mine) 
language "where programmers can go to look for work", I think he's 
fooling himself.
When I design my new language, I will make sure I choose a name such that 
any attempt to search for it on job sites will produce oodles and oodles 
and oodles of false positives, all the better to ensure that simple-
minded "top language of ..." surveys will give a massively inflated job 
count.
I think I'll call it "Salary".
