Why is it that stuff written in Go always has to tell you that it is written in Go? As a user I don’t choose apps based on the language they’re written in? (Serious question.)
Whenever you have applications were implementations are plentiful the only real differentiation you can do without creating a different user experience is the technologies used to develop it. The importance of which in people’s perspective is several things, mostly supporting technologies they like and want to see grow and possibly being skilled in the underlying technologies to actually contribute back.
Certain technologies are also just hot garbage, I swear to God if I have to install another electron app for some messaging platform I will shit myself.
Actually… I do :/ Even though I have no idea of the programing realm, most of my self-hosted service via docker written in Go tend to be more “reliable”, faster, easy to use?
I’m always happy to self-host somthing written in golang. But I do agree, its the new age “I use arch BTW” meme for programing language !

I can feel you in Last Part: Element, Discord, Revolt and Signal. Only TG desktop is a non-electron messaging app which I use.
Abaddon for discord and gomuks for matrix but yes they are not as convenient
