I work at Tencent. From my observation: golang is extremely popular in China. Except that we are no different from other parts on the planet. Java, C++, python, js are popular too. Usually no Chinese will be used in the code, programmers try to use English, even if some of them wrote comments with grammar mistakes. Most internet-companies in China are using Agile dev mode by default.


> golang is extremely popular in China

I'm from Europe , the only feedback I have about Chinese Software Engineers is Java.

My Feedback is based on GitHub Chinese's popular repositories , those repos are almost always written in Java.

> we are no different from other parts on the planet

Every part of the planet is different.

France is mostly PHP because it was free and it had a lot of commitment for open source.

UK is largely .NET because paying for MS tooling was never an issue.

India is more Java because offshore pushed the industry that way.

The trending page of GitHub for today contains a couple of Chinese repos[0]. They are all Java based except for one.
