Summary

In April 2021, Cockroach Labs published a revisited exploration of Go executable files. However, the article was perceived as incendiary and accusatory by readers, particularly developers on the Go team. The authors made mistakes in their analysis and defended incorrect conclusions for too long. They failed to adequately acknowledge their mistakes and disrespected the Go development team and broader community. Cockroach Labs removed the article from their site and apologized for not holding up their end of the agreement, promising to listen and do better.
