Why your F# evangelism isn't working

C# will stay because Microsoft will push it. Honestly what makes Go so special? I could see another language or even Java or C# get their AOT story together and retake what was lost to Go.

Google branding, and yet another language from UNIX creators.

None of its direct influences, Oberon-2 and Limbo, achieved market success when ETHZ or Bell Labs were pushing them.

Docker and Kubernetes successes made Go unavoidable on DevOps space.

Crystal, for example, would be a better Go for me.

Garbage collected "modern" language that builds native binaries? There is very little that can compete with that. I don't really like Go, but if I ever need to write a binary I will reach for it, because I don't really want to do manual memory management (even the rust type). My needs are rarely that performance oriented.

Like I said, Java and C# have single binary AOT builds coming down the pipe. Shops could end up gravitating away from Go for this reason.
