No, but I'd be willing to be that it would be about the same. In hindsight, I created a strawman argument benefiting Go since I've only used C# occasionally for the last 7(ish) years and I'd never used iText before. Regardless of whether people thought Go was "better" (which wasn't my intention) the team opened up to the idea of looking at other tools/languages. Not long after when we started a new projects people asked questions like "would this be better if we used C++ or Rust"?
