It's fine, I'm not religiously affiliated with any technology to be offended. I've worked with everything from Haskell to C, from Rust to Go, from Lua to Lisps, from BlueSpec to Prolog - and that's been a good lesson that there's more to a language than its' syntax and semantics as analyzed in a vacuum on an internet forum. And that you should use different tools for different jobs - and usually the simplest tool which works is the best choice.

Go is very often that simple tool which works for most simple things.

If only folks applied that kind of thinking to things like architecture and devops.
