Go is my hammer, and everything is a nail - eviltoast
Always choose the right tool for the job? Nah. I use Go basically everywhere, which either makes me insightful or stupid. Decide for yourself! :D

    In a professional setting, sometimes the cost of developing something more performant in C is not worth it. The velocity unlocked by creating systems in Go is just incredible, after your company has built everything in C[++] for decades. I find myself creating gRPC APIs in Go to solve most design challenges, because it’s stupid fast to develop and is fairly maintainable after.
