Maybe it's a biased and distorted perception that I have, but Go seems to be the most consistent and unsurprising language I've used, and I mean this positively. I haven't written any Go for over a year since my current job mostly uses Node, but I feel immediately comfortable jumping in to the examples in this blog post. I don't think that I'm explaining what I mean very well, but it's something I don't think is so t…

I wonder what kind of monitoring and alert system must exist if any cloud provider changes their SDK or APIs (signature, logic, capability etc.) upstream while your go binaries are in production. Did Google manage to get cloud providers on board to register and update a 1 to 1 match between the upstream api and the go cloud api? Secondly on the article's mention on multi cloud usage, you would need to be a pretty lar…

Hey ho. I worked on this project. The majority of the team is in SF for Google Cloud Next to present this. I'm about to hop into the car to head up myself to watch, so I can do a little AMA throughout the day. Reply to this to make sure I see your question! Here's a question I've already seen: > Is this a Google project or a Go project? It is a project led by the Go team, and we are very aware of our responsibility t…

For me the big surprise is that we still have languages where we have to write things like func setupBucket(ctx context.Context) (*blob.Bucket, error) { sess, err := session.NewSession(&aws.Config{ Region: aws.String("us-east-2"), }) full of ( ) { } * and & as if we were still in the 80s. So Go is a very surprising language, but this is highly subjective. No hard feelings.

I like to see how Go seems to getting some traction within Google. For years, I had the impression that Google was more Java/JS/Python driven and I was wondering why they weren't using their own language for more projects :-D
