For other stories of X => Go rewrites, I started keeping a list at https://quicknotes.io/n/vzb7-rewritten-tales-of-rewriting-s

That list can easily be made longer. Off of the top of my head I know that there are many more projects which have switch languages to Go. What they say most of the time is (from the article):

Since our transition to Golang we haven’t looked back. ... we’ve begun the process of modularizing our code base and spinning up microservices to handle specific roles in our system.

I agree, it's a work in progress.

If you have more links, I'll be happy to add them.

I have a much longer list of companies that use Go (https://quicknotes.io/n/1XB0-companies-using-go) but it's harder to find descriptions of rewrites than find out who's using Go.

You can add The New York Times to that list, although they rewrote from PHP, Python, Groovy, Java and C++ so no idea how it'll fit in that list.
