- roca 8y agoIt's quite likely that, being at Google, they were already familiar with Go, people around them were using it, and there was a comfort factor with it being a Google project. It's rational to take these factors into account, but they don't reflect on the merits of the language itself, and aren't necessarily transferable to other people choosing programming languages.
