Not advanced or high-level enough for Kubernetes, eh?

Most senior programmers I know love Golang. It is easy to teach, easy to read, easy to understand, and easy to be productive in. And it is difficult to make unclear, complicated, or extremely bad code. A trade-off is that it is more verbose than other languages (if err != nil is a meme for a reason), but I think most people wind up prefer the clarity and correctness rather than hiding error handling.

Let me ask you with two counter questions.

1.: which one do you think is more complex: kubernetes or the linux kernel?

2.: which lange do you think is more "advanced" or "high-level" enough by our definition: C or Go?

I think you can see where I'm going at.

Otherwise, I don't disagree with the rest. Go is the new cool python.

Reframing a bit based on my own friends. The senior people I know like it because it's really easy to manage subordinates who are using it. And based on a few experiences I've had doesn't lend itself to the programmers wasting time on half baked mystery abstractions and broken internal API's.
