I do enterprise consulting, in projects which happen to always have some kind of offshoring involved.

Projects where the languages are easy to pick up and anyone can do it, are always the first on the pipeline to give away.

Are you really saying that Rob Pike is part of some kind of conspiracy to offshore all the coding that's currently being done at Google SF? Golang has been around for a while now, and there's no sign of that happening.

[pjmlp]

No, I am just stating that the goals of having the language designed for such target audience, can have that as side effect.

Just like it happened with Java.

Your responses to K0nserv and singhrac suggested that you were defending the claim that golang was "designed for" outsourcing.

If you're making the weaker claim that Go's design "can" have the effect of triggering outsourcing, then that's speculative and consequently rather difficult to refute. But you haven't provided a single piece of evidence that this has actually occurred, so far as I can see.

I was making the claim that can be a side effect of its design and the way the community is against common features in modern languages, deemed too complex.

Lets see how it looks a few years from now, given that it is becoming a mainstream language thanks to Docker and K8s adoption.

[foldr]

Many of those features (e.g. generics) are in Java and/or C#, which are nonetheless widely outsourced.

[pjmlp]

True, however Go is like a Java or C# 1.0, they did not start as they look today.

So Go is in the right track to follow their path.

It's pretty bad that people outside the SV can code /s
