My one annoyance with cloudflare. Everything is JavaScript. Every example, all the things. But I guess that's catering to their audience. Over the past year you could definitely seem them shift their services more inline with other cloud providers because that's the inevitable requirement to penetrate enterprise and a broader audience. But part of that should require opening up to a bigger audience from a language perspective too e.g backend languages. One time I'd like to see a Go example first or even a tabbed example. Just my opinion.

This code has to run inside their Worker's platform; _technically_ you can compile Go to WASM and get it to run; but practically it is Javascript only.

IIUC this particular product runs in Linux containers, not in V8 isolates like Workers uses. The upside of this is broader ecosystem compatibility (you can use whatever language you want even if it doesn't compile efficiently to Wasm); the downside is that each container instance runs in a particular data center and you have to worry about the latency implications of that, whereas every Worker runs in every location.

This comment was complaining the example for launching the container was in JavaScript, this bit has to run in v8.

Python for Workers is coming eventually.
