Cameron Balahan and Richard Seroter's case: once AI writes the boilerplate, the developer's job is review and maintenance, so language choice becomes an architectural-integrity decision. Go's strict compiler and integrated toolchain act as deterministic guardrails that let models self-correct, and gofmt-enforced uniformity makes hallucinated API calls faster for a human to catch (Google). 397 points and 457 comments on HN, where "this is Google marketing its own language into a trend" got a full airing. Both things are true. The uniformity argument is real and I've felt it reviewing generated Python, where four valid formattings of the same logic make diffs harder to scan. That doesn't make the post not marketing.
