I for one look forward to an endless stream of "X support in Go" and "Y reimplemented in Go" posts over the next few years.

And judging from the last 20 years of programming language evangelism/flame wars, I completely expect to see "X support in AnotherLanguage" and "Y reimplemented in AnotherLanguage" posts followed up by "How AnotherLanguage is so much better than Go" and "AnotherLanguage vs. Go."

Sadly, what we'll never see is a retrospective along the lines of, "Did we waste all our time reinventing the wheel in AnotherLanguage?"

If X is an OpenPGP implementation, I support this. We need more implementations of this standard.
