Although Go was conceived as a language for the server, that&#x27;s becoming less apt as time passes. Its being used in many places that the language designers hadn&#x27;t initially thought of, such as iOS and Android. So the trade-offs they need to make today have to consider all possible use cases, not just the server one.<p>Also, I think its really important that pause times be as short as possible on the server as well. If they aren&#x27;t, you&#x27;d probably see an unhealthy spike in 90+ percentile responses.
