The golang implementation of protobuf sucked historically (still does, but is improving) and gogo was an alternative that fixed a lot of problems and was nicer overall. Until its creator burned out and deprecated it. Chasing a constantly mo

On the contrary, who else is going to fund fundamental research that is not immediately useful? Stuff that prints money will have no problem finding funding, looking at the greater picture is exactly what the government is supposed to do

After gogoproto I'm hesitant to depend on another non-standard implementation, getting off gogo was a pain. This thing may be better than the one from Google (gogo definitely was), but can we be sure that it will still be around in 10

Yes, it is an object now, at least in my book. Public/private is less important, there are examples of OOP systems with private data being optional or non-existent at all, for example in Python.

Your example lacks data. An object is the combination of data and code manipulating the data with some syntactic sugar on top

And we have a perfect instrument to express this relationship: money. If the service is really important to people they will pay money for it, and the companies can pay some of that money to utility providers. The economy works as intended,
