Google did write golang and Google likes killing everything it touches Lemmy is written in go…
Lemmy is written in Rust. I currently don't know if there is fediverse server software written in Go tbh
It was a joke and a jab at Google. But how does rust get hacked. That’s unnerving
Is it now? Github says it's Rust at 80%. And a layer of rust is a good protection again further rust 😃

This is not how rust works, rust is blooming and eating ever deeper. Green Copper-Patina on the other hand is a protective layer.
I had "weathering steel" in mind, butt you're right, even in this case, rust still eats at it, just slower.
I don't think anyone is going to create a coding language called Green Copper Patina.
Thinking about it that way, that would actually be a good name, but I bet it would be a favourite in the Linux crowd.
Honestly I am just going off of my preconceptions on this golang presumption. I tend to bet often that a rust or go based product is going to win out in most cases.
