I don't think it's a false dichotomy. I don't think the teams that originally worked on the development of the Go language were Google production engineers of any sort.

I've been working at Google for 8 years and have yet to touch a Go codebase in production.

It's just not used that frequently.

If we're sharing anecdotes, I didn't write any C++ in over a decade at Google.

But I'm not going to dispute that it's the most-used server-side language, because I've seen the statistics.

How about the statistics you've seen on Go?

I don't remember (other than being up and to the right) and it seems not to be published.
