I’ve been using Go in this capacity quite a lot recently, replacing Java code I had previously been using for these kinds of tasks. And have been pleasantly surprised how straightforward the code is. Especially now with generics support. I’ve been able to quickly write little meta functions for things like translating Kafka events to a channel of structure and spin up a number of go routines to handle them by making REST calls. The code is concise, clean, and simple, without being overly clever.
