But this is a terrible argument. Go was released in 2007. Are you being facetious or are you suggesting that porting a mature codebase to Go is that easy? CoreOS was released in 2013 and so was Docker. I know that Docker actually ported to Go after the fact, but it was still relatively young and Go was already mature by then.
