but because of their negative experiences it's been blacklisted with all code except netstack needing to be migrated to an approved language.
Have you got a reference for that, it seems pretty damning if it's true.

I wonder if they had other negative experiences beside the higher resource usage? Because it's hardly surprising that a garbage-collected language should have higher resource usage than C++/Rust. They could have still supported it for app development however - but it seems they took a "there can only be one" approach and went for Dart instead.
Also most likely why Android will never support Go officially.
That's more cost than benefit.
why?
