Shutting down the subreddit is an extremely petty action. I'm genuinely surprised that a representative of Google and Golang would even get involved in such a heated way, in particular since Google is going through a fairly pivotal moment in terms of company focus.
I run and am currently migrating a fairly large system (several hundred VM's) to Google Cloud. I've also rewritten a large (several billion hits a day) application in Golang for performance reasons. Do I need to be worried that some hot head is going to pull the entire company away from XYZ at the drop of a hat? Scary.
