Can you elaborate a bit on the golang part? As someone who dabbled with Go but never found it too alluring when comparing to other options (if I wanted ease-of-use I'd go with Python, if I wanted performance I'd go lower level - C++/Rust), I'm interested what you mean by it. Go did find a footing in the industry and a lot of cloud infrastructure relies on it, I do think it's the most interesting option out of compiled garbage-collecting languages.

Go finds a really good position in between. The language itself restricts your ability to get too crazy (with for example types).
I hate it, but I can totally see how it would work really well for keeping your architecture simple.

Go removes non-value added decisions as teams scale:
- formatting built in. There’s one way. No preferences needed
- language constructs are dead simple. There’s one way to use them, and they’re verbose. No cleverness encouraged
- patterns are straight forward Read the standard library code if stuck
Every Go project resembles every Go project. It’s great.
