Absolutely.<p>Someone once claimed — I forget who and where — that Go was designed at Google precisely so that even average developers could contribute meaningfully and safely within Google&#x27;s stack.<p>Of Google&#x27;s top languages (as far as I know), Java and C++ are complex, and Python has its own idiosynchracies, notable the lack of static typing which leads to a class of potential errors (especially as relates to backwards compatibility between modules) that must be mitigated with super-extensive unit test coverage.<p>Go, on the other hand, is a very small and simple (easy to ramp up), very strict (hard to screw up) language with an extensive library (max productivity).
