  > 70% of cloud tools on CNF are built with Go; Kubernetes is just one of many. Yes, that's what's called an ecosystem effect. But k8s has been the biggest open source codebase for a while, so it's far from insignificant. > you should consider whether the team was trying to code more with Java idioms than with Go ones. Turns out generics, the “Java idiom” in question, was eventually added to Go after many years, so maybe it was in fact useful and it's not just k8s devs who where idiots following “java idioms”… > Nodejs has been more successful than Go in cloud? Nodejs has been more successful than Go in pretty much everything except in orchestration tools (because of the ecosystem effect mentioned above) which is a tiny niche anyway. Go is a very small language on terms of use compared to Nodejs, or PHP, which are arguably language with a terrible design.
