He's an employer, and like I said below it's not surprise that all employers and managers who rarely write any code defend Golang whenever the debate shows up. The language features barely have anything to do with the language itself (easy to pickup -> bigger pool of developers and lower average paychecks/dev, acceptable performance and memory usage and fast compilation times -> better AWS bills compared to Ruby/Python/Java, abundance of support for many cloud and distrubted stuff (e.g. k8s go client, envoy, cloud vendor sdks, etc...)
