Google has a serious case of “Not Invented Here” syndrome. Sometimes that works out, sometimes it doesn’t. I’ve not written any Go, but I’ve read enough of the Terraform codebase and of several k8s controllers to not be impressed. If they add generics I might take it for a spin, but I can’t yet see a usecase for Go where I wouldn’t just use Rust, Elixir, or F# instead.

Yeah exactly... I really can't understand what people think when they use the tools you mentioned just "cuz it's Google tool" 🤯
