Why Golang is DevOps' Top Programming Language
The list of DevOps tools not only includes things like Kubernetes and Grafana, but also programming languages. In this video I discuss some of the benefits of the Go programming language that make it a good candidate for becoming the next top programming language for DevOps Engineering. Python is arguably the most popular language in DevOps right now, but in 2022 and beyond I think Golang will give Python a run for its money when it comes to DevOps.
