Why do you say this? Isn’t it just a programming language, presumably as good for surveillance as any other.

Or is there some nefarious google backdoor in the standard library I don’t know about?

he might be referring to golangs recent announcement of considering adding telemetry on by default in the CLI

That would be bad, but seems like a minor reason to hate golang. I love it’s standard library, the support for niche platforms like openbsd (rust sucks for this), docs are great too.

in all fairness there's plenty of reasons to dislike go. this coming from someone who enjoys there language.

Agree on that one too. I wish it was more concise for instance.
