It's more correct to say that they attempted to write part of Fuchsia in Go, but the results performed so badly that they decided it would need to be rewritten in another language.
Just as Microsoft once made a good faith effort to rewrite Windows in C# (Longhorn) before that effort had to be abandoned.
- pjmlp 5y agoLonghorn failed due to sabotage from Windows team due to the usual WinDev vs DevDiv politics, hence why since Vista all Longhorn ideas have been redone in COM, and COM followed by WinRT (COM + IInspectable + TLB replaced with .NET metadata). Midori had no issues powering Asian Bing servers during its life in production.
- GeekyBear 5y agoThe late build of Longhorn that leaked back in the day performed so poorly that it took forever just to boot on the computers of the era. I have no doubt the usual Microsoft politics of the era applied as well.
