09/17/2018, 10:37 PMI think historically we’ve been reticent to invest a lot into the Go stuff because it’s not clear how to make a super amazing experience especially compared to the TypeScript stuff, but I believe that is changing this sprint, and I believe @incalculable-sundown-82514 is working on it.

Yeah - https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/1614 tracks the high level work that is needed to really make Go experience great. If there are any pieces of that you are interested in contributing on, drop a note here (or in #contribute) and we'll coordinate!

Created #golang channel. Feel free to use that and/or #contribute for follow-ups on any of the topics here.
