> GCC is more used than Go and GCC does not have telemetry so GO doesn't need it is completly unrelated. I mentioned that because an argument could be made that they're the most popular, or they're trying to be the most efficient language and that's why they might "need" this telemetry data. > Most dev working on core tools want telemetry Yet somehow, almost all open source, popular, efficient tools don't have telemetry. Like the ones I listed + python + Linux + coreutils + bash. Of course they want this. But there are mountains of successful projects that work very well without it, and every one serves as evidence that this Isn't as important as they let on. We shouldn't subject our personal computers to google tracking because they want more tracking data. In case anyone wants to mention that it's Google's language and they can do what they want with it, this is a perfect example of why people aren't happy with Google's control of the language
