Go is best at interfacing with kubernetes, which I think will carry it pretty far, for better or worse.

  Yeah, Go’s niche is networking. But it could be so much more. The language is nice and fast, and there’s no reason it can’t be a solid choice outside the microservice and tooling universe.

  The Kubernetes API is one of my least favourite Go packages - largely generated, boilerplate all over the show and hasn’t even adapted to use things like log/slog without some wrapper. A much nicer library for dealing with Kubernetes is the kube crate [1] for Rust. The worst aspect of it is the dependency discipline, though that is no worse than the official Go client.

    Go’s k8s package is the OG. Everything else spawned off of it, so it’s packed with legacy artifacts. But yeah, I wouldn’t use it as an example of a good Go package.

      Sure, it's the canonical example of a Kubernetes client, but it's still not very good - even for modern Go.
