@RL_Dane yeah... I think that folks who use go and do care about their privacy need to have a think about where go figures in their future.
Although for some projects who have chosen to write them in go, they won't be able to stop.
There's limited pressure that can be put on google. it's a large Corp, known for #massdatacollection. For every coder that stops, others won't.
I'm glad my project isn't in that position. But other projects are. Faustian bargain indeed.

The thing that's been concerning me is the incessant hardware and software treadmill that's been established.
Not only are applications constantly moving targets, but also operating systems and NOW programming languages as well.
The more we pivot into the total fly-by-night, seat-of-your-pants kind of architecture, the more we are ONE good solar flare away from total societal collapse -- and I'm usually NOT that kind of a doom-and-gloomer.
