Really wearing the team's t-shirt there, Go was barely proven on the language adoption battlefield when Go heads preverted the direction Docker and Kubernetes were going, it wasn't even 1.0. Lots of languages are full of dead projects that never gained notoriety. In fact, YouTube downloader which is another "success" only happened, because once again, it was a gopher that forced a RIG, it was working perfectly fine. |

Ad hominem is a logical fallacy.

Exactly. All these projects chose Go many years before anyone, outside of Docker, had heard of Docker. This idea that Go was some kind of underground language until Docker and Kubernetes arrived at which point everyone jumped on the bandwagon is simply not true. Go was already quite popular by the time Docker was released, as evidenced by a whole lot of other projects that became popular themselves being released at the same time. Those projects wouldn't have been able to have been released when they did if they waited for Docker's success to jump on the Go bandwagon.

No there aren't. Not where the language is on the heap of languages nobody has ever heard of. Oberon-2 and Limbo didn't fail because they never found their "Docker", they failed because nobody used them in the first place.
