Notes
gollark: I'm not sure exactly what they're targeting - maybe trendy cloud™-type tools, simple webservers, etc - but even *in* that domain it just seems bad to me.
gollark: If they did in fact mean it as a DSL for deploying bees against Google Cloud, they should say so.
gollark: I mean, I did say "treated as a general purpose language" so it's fairly reasonable.
gollark: It does not say "but only if all you do is interface docker to HTTP to bees" or something.
gollark: > Go is an open source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software.
