> The problem with Go is that the Googlers fail to challenge some of the design decisions. The giants of computer science working on it at the company cannot be questioned, and that just leads to a broken feedback process.

During my time at Alphabet I didn't see much use of Go anyways, other than in glue tooling (including a horrific large-scale incident due to non-obvious behaviour of Go code in such a glue tool).
