Huge news! I hope the new leadership remembers that keeping golang small and simple was its greatest strength. Adding generics was too much, and while I think there are some important small cases when it's valuable, in practice people are using it when they shouldn't. I'd also like to see less google control of the project.
I'm certainly thankful for golang as it made my https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/ project possible!
Thanks Russ!
