> I think that's because you're considering people who are already programming in Go

um I talk to a lot of programmers that don't use Go. Most that don't use it decide not to use it because of either the type system ("it's not safe/expressive enough") or the garbage collector. I've never talked to someone that said "Go is technically good and I think it would be a good tool but I won't use it because of Google".

That's fair. I only made that assumption because you specifically said "I have never encountered a Go programmer in real life that is actually mad about this"

ah yeah makes sense. Honestly "I have never encountered someone that doesn't use Go because of this, or a Go programmer that's mad about it" is probably a more complete sentiment.
