&gt; Paradox answered.<p>I&#x27;ve heard Go being advocated twice for development teams and both times the &quot;Google&quot; part was at the top. Second was &quot;binary deployment and static compilation&quot; one time, the other time it was &quot;faster than Python and concurrency&quot;. So yeah, I believe it.<p>Even people who could not articulate why Go would be appropriate for a project&#x2F;task were jumping on the bandwaggon because of &quot;Google does it so it must be good&quot;.  Which, well, is not a terrible heuristic for some.
