It's impossible to measure how much impact just having Rob Pike and Google behind Go has had on its adoption.

Google and Pike get you in the door. Goroutines get you to sit down. The onboarding-oriented nature of the language and ecosystem convince you to sign.

What Go did for the tooling space cannot be underestimated, it is wonderful and we will never go back to the before time.

What providing a formatter like indent has provided for decades?

Selling a Turbo Pascal/Modula-2 like compilation speed from MS-DOS days as novelty?

Or was using IDE code refactoring tools as UNIX CLI?

Do you really care about that or is that just ye olde "the lemmings use Go" bit?
