I'd say the complete opposite. Today a company I know that uses a super aged language php decided to buy some .Net software that was crazy slow and had a million tables you know they built with wizards. It just every day becomes more and more clear how they haven't a clue what they are doing. It's freaken amazing to see them drop in speed tests.
I think one of the biggest misconceptions I see about GoLang is that there are a million threads in ycombinator and reddit, repeatedly saying it built on top of C or C++. It simply isn't. It takes ideas from it sure, but it is not built on top of it like others (php, js, ruby, ect...) So stop comparing it to C or C++.
Who wants to use Windows? So now they are just repackaging open free software like npm and angular 2... Oh great... Again who wants to use Windows? Azure you can't even have it use anything that touches other servers without costing you. I think their focus on their base is what is hurting them. Sure they gained a little with azure but as tech people know, thatll be out if date if not already. Cause why learn how is all connected right?
I feel like the video really really was based on faith that the future will just become more complex. This is prolly the number one reason why man doesn't progress as much as it should. It just presumes so much and yet so very little. It's like the whole AI taking over theory. Really really doesn't go well with people because it lacks complete and utter detail.
It depends how much time you want to spend on it. If it's a simple app you'll never touch again then ms stuff is meant for turn and burn apps without learning anything.
If you want just Templating and always open connections for building backend site builder tools then PHP is your language.
If you want free and scalable with as little code as possible with building files you never have to write again then Python Django restful API and angular2.
If you plan for this to be worked on indefinitely and it'll be customized every day and you know the greatest will stay with you with high risk, then vanilla js and nodejs.
If you want as quick as possible but with a scalable price then reactjs and firebase.
I just stopped from the js community to the Python one cause of js fatigue and the first thing I learned is Django restful APIs and now this happens....
To be honest you should look into Python. It's really short code and getting very popular. It uses decorators and those template garbage %> that no one uses anymore (extra). It also is by default the cleanest code and in my opinion the shortest code. It also has a library for everything. It also is the fastest for big data crunching.
That's why they call it angular 2. It's finally out and ready to be used. Works really well with routers. Although you don't get the constant updating but you do get codeless directives that are really easy to understand.
With rc5 angular2 you can just create a module and then not worry about dependencies in your compliments or you can create modules in different levels of components. Either way hooking it up is just a js file and custom html tag that's nested in component containers is pretty easy to implement in any project. Plus, it's done the same way every time, so looking at someone's project isn't hard to read. It also has commands to strip unused dependencies in cli, no extra libraries needed.
