> What you see in K8S is the exception rather than the norm in Go - but is the norm in other languages. I suggest that is because not many large applications have yet been built in Go and it is still relatively young. If Go was used more sparingly as a "domain-specific language for concurrent network services", then I might be inclined to agree with you, but it seems to be marketed and promoted as a general purpose language.

Go is over a decade old and basically powers the majority of web infrastructure right now (k8s, docker, traefik, istio, terraform, cloudflare) and is used by google, Uber, twitch, SoundCloud, dropbox, YouTube, sendgrid... these are not exactly backyard projects. 90% of all software written falls into concurrent network services now.
