Go is an ideal language for AI-assisted software engineering

In my opinion, the by far biggest problem Go has is called ...

Google.

Now one can say that a programming language and its design or usefulness is - or should be - decoupled from the company developing is. I am not opposed to this, in theory, but Google goes way too much on my nerves these days. And I am hardly the only one here.

I am not saying this is a rationale used by many other people either, mind you, but Rust has been taking strides (not that I am a huge fan of it either but for different reasons) and it seems to me as if Rust has finally now more momentum than Go, which I find interesting. Again, this may be a correlation rather than any causation, but I can not help but notice it.

lol "Why Go is really good - an article by Google"

Because Go is an absurdly verbose language that hates to the core the idea of expressivity because it prides itself on being dumb.
