Honestly I wouldn't be surprised, I don't know much about Go but based on Google's track record it seems like the gameplan is to sell a bunch of user data to third parties and go rich
Lmao Hope you're not right (I mean, I hope no telemetry is imposed on my favorite programming language). But as you said, Google tracking/survillance history say that people privacy really don't concerns him
You can always switch to another language later on if anything goes south, since a lot of the thought process is the same behind the scripting 🤞
Rust is my "alternative". But I see Rust pretty hard (is a system level programming language lol) and differently scoped.
I like some Go characteristics like garbage collection, simpler syntax, crossplatform, 1 second C bindings, and so on.
