The news for me is Microsoft teams relying on Go.
Strange choice to use Go for the compiler instead of C# or F#.
Now if they will have problems, they will depend on the Go team at Google to fix them.
- Cthulhu_ 2y agoThat's not how open source works / should work though. If the Go maintainers (that happen to work at Go) ignore problems that the MS teams flag up, they can fork the language. The opposite would be true as well, teams at Google using Typescript or C# would rely on Microsoft to fix any issues.

- commandersaki 2y agoI know a few teams in Azure Networking teams that use Go. I don't think it's uncommon.
- pjmlp 2y agoActually, they have their own Go compiler. https://devblogs.microsoft.com/go/ https://devblogs.microsoft.com/go/ Just like they have their own Java distribution, after everything that caused C# to exist in first place, https://devblogs.microsoft.com/java/ https://devblogs.microsoft.com/java/ Yes, the new DevDiv is not like the Microsoft of old. But then the .NET team shouldn't be asking every now and then on social media, why other languages get chosen, outside the Windows ecosytem.
