Author here. Microsoft is a soft Go fork mostly for internal Microsoft needs, but some projects outside of Microsoft use it as well due to it's good FIPS 140 story. I expect some of these users to switch back to Google's Go now that it will also ship with a FIPS-140 crypto stack.

Any plans to use it for the managed azure istio so that can be used in FEDRAMP environments?
out of curiosity: what problems do you solve with this fork at Microsoft and why not C# ?
