I don't think (s)he meant Assembly, but rather the language used to "assemble" an awful lot of the modern cloud infrastructure. If you use Docker or CloudFlare, which I would think covers a sizable portion of new projects, your code is passing through something written in Go. Google did a pretty amazing job of walking back the "replacement for C" talk and positioning Go as the language for web/micro/cluster/distribution/cloud/interconnected services. But maybe I misinterpreted and (s)he meant Assembly.
