> Most of that was written by the Go team, not Google management, and even has the famous Rob Pike take on it.

I am unable to understand your point or you seem to be making arguments that have nothing to do with the article nor with my earlier replies. I wonder why. Are you expecting sundar pichai to announce golang to his shareholders in his quarterly call? Which language does that?

This article and my replies are technical in nature. You need to have a technical response to a technical problem. You cant get emotional everytime. Which language allows me fast builds, lightweight and high performance concurrency, strong stdlib and tooling, easy cross compilation with static binaries, simple syntax, decent performance and by that i mean not worrying too much on memory management, easy onboarding and large scale maintainability? I am willing to try that tool.

Because your narrative is wrong, it wasn't a Google project, it was a group of Google employees that rebeled and were lucky to have their line manager support, given being UNIX idols.

Google upper management was, and is, perfectly fine with Java, Kotlin, C++ and Rust, for the most purposes.

I won't suggest any "technical" answer, because clearly you only want Go.

You can’t provide me any technical answer.
