@Natureshadow @mawhrin @davidgerard There is a lot of nice networking software written in Go... For some reason or other...

I do use some of it!

@alcinnz @Natureshadow @davidgerard and my favourite ansible secret storage backend (gopass). anyways, the company i work for depends on google's existence, so i'm not going to go all righteous on all google products. but i can grumble re: technical choices in a limited field, and i will, and there's a limited chance it could've been heard.

@mawhrin @alcinnz @davidgerard I never got the point of gopass. I mean, it's just pass, rewritten for no reason at all with no benefits at all.

@alcinnz @Natureshadow @davidgerard very likely you didn't need the multiuser capabilities; as i said, “ansible secret store” is my gopass use case.

i know this can be done with regular pass, but gopass greatly lowers the entry barrier for multiple users and makes onboarding new ones easier.

(and yes, there are other password stores, but with ansible/gopass i can automatically read and generate secrets as needed, and reliably encrypt them and store them in a remote shared repository without spinning up and maintaining hashicorp's vault, and that covers my particular needs 100%.)

@alcinnz @mawhrin @davidgerard I do as well. Seems I need to stop.

(Although as a fun fact, a long-standing network bug is actually something else that drives me away from Go... github.com/golang/go/issues/52 has put an important project on hold here, and now I will just rewrite in Rust instead 🤷)
