Go is good for onboarding people onto a project, but not much else. There's a reason Google is migrating Go services to Rust: https://www.theregister.com/2024/03/31/rust_google_c/ https://www.theregister.com/2024/03/31/rust_google_c/ > "When we've rewritten systems from Go into Rust, we've found that it takes about the same size team about the same amount of time to build it," said Bergstrom. "That is, there's no loss in productivity when moving from Go to Rust. And the interesting thing is we do see some benefits from it. > "So we see reduced memory usage in the services that we've moved from Go ... and we see a decreased defect rate over time in those services that have been rewritten in Rust – so increasing correctness." That matches my experience: Go serivces tend to be tire fires, and churn developers on and off teams pretty fast.
