Thanks far all the answers. Sebastien Binet is a colleague and he is
indeed brilliant.
pachyderm looks powerful, but also an overkill for my need. It might
scare my colleagues away.

I have a vague memory of +Rob Pike <mailto:r...@golang.org> tweeting
something about astronomy or perhaps an observatory a few months ago.
Perhaps there was no programming involved but if so I imagine Go is
safe bet.
But building pipelines using something like Pachyderm would allow for
a very polyglot "use the tool that fits in each part" approach.

I know about https://go-hep.org probably Sebastien can elaborate more
if and how it is used at CERN.

Hello,
I'm a computer scientist in charge of developing an image
processing pipeline for telescope images.
It will also have a web server and DB connection.
The project is going through reviews by external experts, and
the problem I'm facing is that my proposal to use Go is about
to be rejected.
The main opposing arguments are
- everybody uses python in astrophysics
- it is very easy to find someone who knows python
- risk that I, sole Go programmer, might become unavailable
I would have the same arguments if I was project leader and
unfamiliar with Go.
The counter arguments I found so far are that
- Go is simpler and safer than Python
- I learned Go in a week-end
The problem is that they don't convince people who don't know
Go, are not experienced software developers, and don't want to
do the due diligence.
It's the usual inertia to change.
What other arguments could I use ?
Do you know other significant scientific experiments that have
adopted Go ?
I have found this github project.
https://github.com/indigo-astronomy/indigo
INDI is a well known Python Observatory Control System.
INDIGO is its translation into Go.
I have also found SciPipe https://github.com/scipipe.
It is a Go pipeline framework used in scientific applications.
