I must admit that this has crossed my mind.

I don't see the drive to promote Go by the people who created it.

It feels like, "we tried it...meh".

I might be wrong.

Because Go is used by every large tech company in the world. If Google stopped investing in it, others would step in to move it forward.

Not to mention a lot of critical components of modern infrastructure like docker, podman and kubernetes are built using go
