Indeed Go is a pretty good "Google Language". It almost google's C++ with it's C style guide baked into the language. For almost every feature in Go (or lack of thereof), I can find a line in the C style guide saying the very same thing. (ban of exceptions, rvalue references, don't include what you don't use, CHECK vs. panick... etc)

(Though yet many teams didn't adopt Go. Because if none of your teammembers has Go readability then you have to rely on someone in Go team to do CRs. Those guys are not very pleasant to deal with.)

"Those guys are not very pleasant to deal with."

I got Go readability more than 2 years ago, right before I left Google, but in my experience the Go team was very pleasant & professional. Has that changed?
