Don't know if this is sarcasm, but AWS has a large team of evangelists. I'm sure they'd want to avoid a single point of failure in developer relations as well.

Jeff Barr is still at Amazon today, nothing to be worried about.

Hi fragmede! Jeff Barr is a busy man and his blog these days is mostly focused on new products or super major features for existing ones. Lambda releasing Go support definitely toes the line (at least in my mind) but we made the decision to go with a post on this blog which has a focus in this space. Jeff is quite fine though and I talk to him almost daily!

I'm alive and well! Due to the number of launches we have to pick and choose a subset for the main AWS Blog. Stay tuned for some cool stuff...
