Wondering if another language would be better in their situation is interesting… but you completely missed the point of the article tho. It's not about infrastructure costs but large codebase reliability and developers productivity.

More relevant questions:

- Would Go avoid or reduce the needs for all these static analysis tools? (probably yes)

- Is the cost of migrating millions lines of code to Go inferior to the cost of setuping all these static analysis tools? (probably no)

- Would the extra cost of migrating be worth it? (hard to say)
