Many of today's programmers see themselves as 'creatives,' utilizing personal branding through unique names, websites, and self-promoted titles that reflect an artistic approach to software engineering.
The rise of languages like Go highlights a shift in programming ethos – a return to utilitarianism where simpler, more effective tools are valued over flashy, complex alternatives, aiming for broader applicability.
Programming languages can be categorized like art movements: utilitarianism with Fortran, formalism with Haskell, pragmatism with Java, and community-focused languages like Python, while Go represents a resurgence of neoclassicism.
The inception of Go was driven by a desire among developers to address the complexities of standard languages, emphasizing a solution fit for modern, cloud-centric computing environments.
