> At the time Go was created you could choose between three languages at Google: Python, C++ and Java.

Out of curiosity, what languages can you currently choose from at Google?

Just you guess: Python, C++ and Java… and Go.

Or JavaScript, Dart, Objective-C, Swift, Rust; even C#. But then it depends on the problem domain. Google it huge, so it depends. And that's even if you pick Python, C++, Java or Go. So your team will already have it decided for you.

I haven't worked there for a long time so I wouldn't know. I don't even know if they are still as disciplined about what languages are allowed and how those languages are used.

Can someone still at Google chime in on this?
