Go

Go (a.k.a. golang) is an open-source programming language with a robust standard library and a large ecosystem of tools.

Go helps us write small, performant cli applications like otc-auth, a terraform provider, and a metrics exporter. Go's error handling, which requires developers to explicitly check for errors as a function's return value, promotes a disciplined "fail-fast" approach by making error paths a core part of the code's logic rather than an afterthought handled by exceptions. Go is also well-supported by our favorite IDE Jetbrains IntelliJ.
