I don't understand why they felt necessary to rewrite a core component in another language. If you have a garbage collection problem my first intuition would be to produce less garbage!

For example better using the stack, or pulling out the big gun of manual memory management.

I'm sure they had reasons to choose Go when they first designed this project but they don't go into them at all.

Feels like they just wanted to play with a new toy.

Largely agree, but it's hardly OP's fault. In my opinion this is one of the things we get by using 30 year old Operating System and there having been almost no innovation in that field for so long.

we don't grow "for the sake of growing", there's plenty of poor people in the world that need that growth. Whether that growth reaches them is another story..

I like learning languages because I like learning. There doesn't need to be a reason. This is a very engineery perspective, I don't like it.
