hey @CommunityNotes
this graph is not a fabrication, it's the graph from the post below flipped upside-down (because software quality is inversely proportional to the number of security vulnerabilities)
calling this fabricated and unsourced is defamatory, remove this incorrect and dangerous note immediately

They hate Go because Go is the only language since C that doesn't sell you anything
Go doesn't have shiny sophisticated features that will make you feel good about yourself when you fail to ship a program that works
Too readable, too explicit, too easy... how will that ever make these depressed people feel anything?

I've had agents implement and optimize the Campfire web app in Elixir, Go, and Rust. Yes, Ruby is the slowest. I didn't care about that when the pay-off was huge in terms of productivity and developer joy. But if you're no longer reading the code? github.com/basecamp/once-cam…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The shown benchmarks use non-equivalent implementations: Elixir routes all DB queries through a single GenServer with Redis for jobs (retained from Rails), while Rust uses in-process queues, omits CSRF tags/fields, and applies other caching changes.

facts
the only real danger of AI is that there is currently no one to blame for when things go wrong
If we never have to look at the code, then all systems languages are practically the same, since they generate roughly the same machine code
