I know, I'm on the same boat. What I realized is I just need to avoid the companies using Go and I don't really need to be vocal about my dislike. It's not my loss if others find the language useful, but for me it either solves problems I'm not interested in solving, or the language and tooling just does not make it for me.

But, I can always just write Rust and be happy where I am. Or, to be honest, would not be very unhappy with F#, Haskell or Ocaml either.

I'd imagine not seeking employment at Google is a big part.

Go is definitely used a lot more outside of google as of late.

Anecdotally I would say where a lot of companies would have used Java in the past they are now turning to go for their server-side/backend service implementations.

Also it feels like pretty much everything in the k8s/container/etc. space is go-related, which kind of makes sense.

Why does it make sense? You can implement a container in any language that can make system calls.

and they also will avoid you! A monthly go-lang meetup in San Francisco impressed me as the only meetup I have ever been to where no one (in a crowded venue) seemed to want to talk to anyone outside their clique

They don't like hearing that the new exciting feature that the new go has was already in every other programming language 10 years ago.
