I used Go for the web server in Miln Beyond: https://miln.eu/beyond/
The choice between writing the server in Objective-C or Swift, versus Go was easy. For servers, Go is a natural fit.
Beyond's front end is a traditional macOS Cocoa application but the hard work is all handled by a Go binary.

The GDC classic postmortem talks are well worth watching.

Who is hoping to gain from the public ridicule? I doubt it is the target.
With this in mind, it would be wise to direct critical feedback privately to the creator. I believe feedback delivered directly and privately is more likely to see the desired change.
Praise in public, criticise in private.

Most AppleScript aware applications can be made to support ruby and python through this bridge:
