I appreciate the time you did spend writing this comment. I don't work in the security world so it is nice to know some arguments for open-source software as a way of removing vulnerability in software.

I'm curious if someone more knowledgeable than me in the security world could elaborate on where most people tend to sit on this spectrum of openness. I figure "obscurity" reduces the number of potential attackers that have t

I don't have the hard numbers to back up the cost question, but I believe one contributing factor to the claims appearing "naive/disingenuous" to you may stem from the fact that you may be looking at the language Go from
