Go 2016 年調查結果
Steve Francia,代表 Go 團隊 2017 年 3 月 6 日
感謝
本文總結了我們於 2016 年 12 月進行的使用者調查結果,並附帶我們的評論和見解。我們感謝所有透過調查提供反饋、幫助塑造 Go 未來的人們。
程式設計背景
在 3,595 名受訪者中,89% 表示他們在工作或工作之外使用 Go 程式設計,其中 39% 在家和工作都使用 Go,27% 只在家使用 Go,23% 只在工作使用 Go。
我們詢問了人們工作的領域。63% 的人表示他們從事 Web 開發,但只有 9% 的人只列出了 Web 開發。實際上,77% 的人選擇了兩個或更多領域,53% 的人選擇了三個或更多。
我們還詢問了人們使用 Go 編寫的程式型別。63% 的受訪者編寫命令列程式,60% 編寫 API 或 RPC 服務,52% 編寫 Web 服務。與上一個問題類似,大多數人選擇了多個選項,其中 85% 選擇兩個或更多,72% 選擇三個或更多。
我們詢問了人們在程式語言方面的專長和偏好。毫不意外,Go 在受訪者的第一選擇中排名最高,無論是專長 (26%) 還是偏好 (62%)。排除 Go 後,語言專長的前五名第一選擇是 Python (18%)、Java (17%)、JavaScript (13%)、C (11%) 和 PHP (8%);語言偏好的前五名第一選擇是 Python (22%)、JavaScript (10%)、C (9%)、Java (9%) 和 Ruby (7%)。Go 顯然正在吸引許多來自動態語言的程式設計師。

Go 使用情況
使用者對 Go 非常滿意:他們同意會向他人推薦 Go 的比例為 19:1,他們更傾向於在下一個專案中使用 Go (14:1),並且 Go 在他們的團隊中執行良好 (18:1)。認為 Go 對公司成功至關重要的使用者較少 (2.5:1)。
當被問及最喜歡 Go 的什麼時,使用者最常提到 Go 的簡潔性、易用性、併發特性和效能。當被問及哪些改變能最大程度地改進 Go 時,使用者最常提到泛型、包版本控制和依賴管理。其他熱門回答包括 GUI、除錯和錯誤處理。
當被問及個人使用 Go 面臨的最大挑戰時,使用者提到了上一個問題中建議的許多技術改進。非技術挑戰中最常見的主題是說服他人使用 Go 以及向他人(包括管理層)傳達 Go 的價值。另一個常見主題是學習 Go 或幫助他人學習,包括查詢入門指南、教程、示例和最佳實踐等文件。
一些具有代表性的常見反饋(為保密而轉述)
“文件對初學者來說不夠清晰。它需要更多示例,並且經常假設讀者有其他語言經驗和各種計算機科學知識。”
“我想在工作中使用 Go,但很難說服我的團隊去嘗試 Go。”
“我無法獲得管理層批准使用 Go;他們看不到它的價值,並擔心採用和尋找開發者的問題。”
我們感謝提供的反饋,這些反饋幫助我們識別了使用者和社群面臨的挑戰。在 2017 年,我們將重點解決這些問題,並希望儘可能做出重大改進。我們歡迎社群提出建議和貢獻,將這些挑戰轉化為 Go 的優勢。
To what extent do you agree or disagree with the following statements:
(strongly disagree , disagree , somewhat disagree , neutral , somewhat agree , agree , strongly agree )
3,250 (2 , 1 , 1 , 2 , 5 , 21 , 57 %)
I would recommend using Go to others (19:1)
3,219 (3 , 1 , 2 , 4 , 8 , 19 , 52 %)
I would prefer to use Go for my next new project (14:1)
2,325 (1 , 1 , 1 , 7 , 8 , 25 , 22 %)
Go is working well for my team. (18:1)
2,336 (4 , 7 , 3 , 14 , 12 , 12 , 12 %)
Go is critical to my company's success. (2.5:1)
資料解讀 :這個問題詢問受訪者對陳述的同意或不同意程度。每個陳述的回答顯示為單一條形圖的不同部分,從左端的深紅色“非常不同意”到右端的深藍色“非常同意”。這些條形圖使用與其餘圖表相同的比例,因此它們的總長度可能會因缺少回答而有所不同(並且確實如此,尤其在調查後期)。文字後面的比例比較了同意(包括“有些同意”和“非常同意”)的受訪者人數與不同意(包括“有些不同意”和“非常不同意”)的受訪者人數。例如,同意會推薦 Go 的受訪者與不同意的受訪者的比例是 19 比 1。

資料解讀 :這個問題要求填寫回答。上面的條形圖顯示了提到常見詞語或短語的調查比例。僅列出出現在二十份或更多調查中的詞語或短語,並省略了像“the”或“to be”這樣無意義的常見詞語或短語。顯示的結果確實存在重疊:例如,提到“standard library”的 287 個回答確實包括單獨列出的提到“great standard library”的 27 個回答。然而,幾乎或完全冗餘的較短條目被省略了:沒有二十份或更多調查在提到“standard library”時只列出了“standard”,因此沒有單獨的“standard”條目。

高效工作
我們詢問了人們對各種關於 Go 的陳述的同意或不同意程度。使用者最同意的是 Go 的效能滿足他們的需求(同意與不同意的比例為 57:1),他們能夠快速找到問題的答案(20:1),以及他們能夠有效地使用 Go 的併發特性(14:1)。另一方面,使用者最不同意的是他們能夠有效地除錯 Go 的併發特性使用(2.7:1)。
使用者大多同意他們能夠快速找到所需的庫(7.5:1)。當被問及還缺少哪些庫時,最常見的請求是用於編寫 GUI 的庫。另一個熱門話題是關於資料處理、分析以及數值和科學計算的請求。
在建議改進 Go 文件的 30% 使用者中,最常見的建議是增加更多示例。
Go 新聞的主要來源是 Go 部落格、Reddit 的 /r/golang 和 Twitter;這裡可能存在一些偏差,因為調查也是透過這些渠道公佈的。
查詢 Go 問題答案的主要來源是 Go 網站、Stack Overflow 和直接閱讀原始碼。

Go 專案
55% 的受訪者表示有興趣以某種方式為 Go 社群和專案做出貢獻。不幸的是,相對較少的人認為他們對此感到受歡迎(3.3:1),認為流程清晰的甚至更少(1.3:1)。在 2017 年,我們打算努力改進貢獻流程,並繼續努力讓所有貢獻者感到受歡迎。
受訪者同意他們對 Go 專案的領導層有信心(9:1),但同意專案領導層瞭解他們需求的比例要低得多(2.6:1),而同意他們感到自在地向專案領導層提出問題和反饋的比例甚至更低(2.2:1)。實際上,這是調查中唯一超過半數受訪者沒有勾選“有些同意”、“同意”或“非常同意”的問題(許多人選擇了中立或未回答)。
我們希望透過這次調查和這篇部落格文章傳達給那些不太願意表達自己的人們,Go 專案領導層正在傾聽。在整個 2017 年,我們將探索新的方式與使用者互動,以便更好地瞭解他們的需求。

在調查的最後,我們詢問了一些人口統計學問題。回答的國家分佈大致與 golang.org 網站訪問的國家分佈相符,但對一些亞洲國家的代表性不足。特別是印度、中國和日本在 2016 年分別約佔 golang.org 網站訪問量的 5%,但在調查回答中分別只佔 3%、2% 和 1%。
社群的一個重要組成部分是讓每個人都感到受歡迎,特別是來自代表性不足群體的人們。我們設定了一個關於不同多樣性群體身份認同的選填問題。37% 的受訪者留空了該問題,12% 的受訪者選擇了“我選擇不回答”,因此我們無法從資料中得出許多廣泛的結論。然而,一項比較引人注目:認為自己屬於代表性不足群體的 9% 受訪者對“我在 Go 社群感到受歡迎”這一陳述的同意比例為 7.5:1,而整個調查的同意比例為 15:1。我們的目標是讓 Go 社群更加受歡迎。我們支援並鼓勵 GoBridge 和 Women Who Go 等組織所做的努力。
調查的最後一個問題只是為了有趣:你最喜歡的 Go 關鍵字是什麼?也許毫不意外,最受歡迎的回答是 go
,其次是 defer
、func
、interface
和 select
。
