Go has "swept up entire markets" because they have an unlimited marketing budget. It has nothing to do with the merits of the language itself.

Can you point to something Go has spent this hypothetical marketing budget on?
Docker, Kubernetes and key CNCF projects.
What was the marketing investment here..?
Google is using Go to implement Kubernetes.

Kubernetes is cool, I want to play with Kubernetes.

Maybe I should lean Go to play.

Ok, but calling this a marketing spend that has nothing to do with the language seems ridiculous.
