Google is not at all a Go shop. Google is a C++ shop, especially when it comes to servers.



(that contradicts your earlier comment)

Google has been gradually moving away from C++ and Java since 2012. See this quora post with multiple references from Google employees.

That is not what their employees talk about at CppCon, LLVM conferences, ISO C++ meetings, Java Language Summit (yes they come around in spite of Android).

Go is mostly a Docker/Kubernetes thing.


The fact that most Google code is C++ does not at all contradict that they are invested in Swift.
