This is true, but there are a number of _good enough_ languages, and personally I don't think go is top-tier at this use case of being the go-to swiss army knife. I do think it is top-tier at being a good choice for tools in its niche. But not as "default language I reach for when I don't want to waste time thinking about it".


Agreed. For my personal sensibilities, Python or TypeScript are better default languages. Of course, I'm a bit obsessive about quality/safety, so I'm probably going to use Rust for most tasks :)
