In addition to the difficulty of rewriting existing code, even when you program something new at Google, you'd be a fool not to leverage what infrastructure already exists. If you try to do that while at the same time writing the new project in Go, you run into weird interoperability issues.
- Evbn 14y agoDo you know whether Go is compatible with Google infrastructure? With protobufs and stuff like SwIG/JNI, why would it not be?
- weareconvo 14y agoThat's a good point, though protocol buffers aren't used for everything. There's more tightly-bound systems stuff going on, plus libraries and so forth. Which is to say, I have no idea.
