Google's Go programming language may add telemetry reporting that's on by default
involves measuring the usage of language features and language performance. The proposal isn't about the sort of sensitive personal data vacuumed up by Google's ad-focused groups.Even so, IT consultant Jacob Weisz makes it clear that Go cannot escape its association with Google, any more than Java can be separated from Oracle or Swift from Apple.
"Now you guys want to introduce telemetry into your programming language?" Weisz said."This is how you drive off any person who even considered giving your project a chance despite the warning signs. Please don't do this, and please issue a public apology for even proposing it. Please leave a blast radius around this idea wide enough that nobody even suggests trying to do this again.
He added:"Trust in Google's behavior is at an all time low, and moves like this are a choice to shove what's left of it off the edge of a cliff."more succinctly:"No telemetry in my toolchains, hard pass."
