Knut4231on New case studies about Google’s use of Go

I have a love/hate relationship with Rust. I love the type system as enthusiast, but as project lead I can't justify relying on so many (partly immature) third party dependencies for business critical stuff.

I came to Go because some Kotlin CLI tools used too much memory and were clumsy to deploy.

I'm staying for the standard lib, tooling and stability.

Nothing gets out of the way better than Go.

Honestly, it's not breaking news that Go is used heavily outside Google.

What are you trying to say?

Go is at my employer's (one of the top 3 car companies world wide) techradar the number one to adopt. New stuff of all kind is done in Go.

So, Go is a huge success outside of Google as well.

Not saying that I'm of any importance for Go, but I'm using Go for personal projects, at work for CLIs and standard backend stuff (APIs + DB, Redis, etc.) with great success.
