Hmm, your notes on Go are interesting. I think what I’m appreciating from the Go side might not strictly be about reliability. It might be some of the other values that seem to come from the community, performant, portable, high performance and also, from what I hear, quite friendly as a community. Also, the idea of designing a simplistic language which I gather to be part of Go appeals to me.
Go is not really on my radar to learn but there seems to be a lot of software that comes written in Go that I’m happy to use. Simple static binaries, old school but modern if you put them next to C and NodeJS. I’m trying to capture some ineffable qualities here I realize.
