Your courage and initiative are inspiring. (Unfortunately, my skills
are lousy.) Anybody with an interest in Golang should please speak up!
Thank you, but I'm just another hacker trying to do her part to maintain
software she loves. I am always grateful to the other Guix hackers doing
amazing work!
I tried to emphasize in my message that even if you dislike Go, there
are some critical packages like Docker that are essentially going
unmaintained because they are written in Go. *This includes security
fixes*. As it stands, I cannot recommend people use our packages which
are compiled by Go v1.17.3 in production. I think every release of Go
(43 of them!) since that one has contained a security patch.
Even if you dislike Go, but can work your way through a package, please
consider signing up!
