Rewrites in general tend to be better (for some definition of better, performance included) even if done in the same language. yes, it's just an anecdote. But, I think as a *principle* of favoring lower latency at the cost of throughput is the right choice for them and how they see Go being used.I don't think it's a good long term strategy for Go even if it can be a good one for how Google uses Go now. There are a lot of tools written in Go, docker/kubernetes are maybe the poster children but for something like InfluxDB (disclaimer, they give me a t-shirt :) ) it's worrying.
Go changed its character mid-life. From being a systems language it morphed into a network service language. Frankly I don't see how they thought it could be a systems language while sporting a garbage collector.
It's fine for network services like docker, even those that need a high request rate (unlike docker). Not for a database.
