And I’ve already answered that question. One of the main impact is that if you want a contributor to the codebase, the person have to learn Go. Even if they have good knowledge of the domain and are proficient in Rust. There would be some cost associated to training that person in Go (it may be small).

Rewriting from Go to another language wouldn’t solve the problem better. Because Go is an implementation choice, not a design choice. There’s nothing in Go that make Terraform better. It could be in C and a lot of people wouldn’t notice.

> And I’ve already answered that question.

You somewhat answered it in a way that doesn't really get to why they asked it (you can't make every decision based on "demonstrated impact").

But you did that in a different comment than the one I replied to. The one I replied to was just answering the wrong question entirely. Which is why I replied.

I'm sorry, are you arguing that using feel to decide how to structure a piece of code is a "huge red flag", but the choice of entire programming language is unimportant?
