“At the time, no single team member knew Go, but within a month, everyone was writing in
Go and we were building out the endpoints. It was the flexibility, how easy it was to use, and
the really cool concept behind Go (how Go handles native concurrency, garbage collection, navigate_next
and of course safety+speed.) that helped engage us during the build. Also, who can beat that
cute mascot!”

— Jaime Enrique Garcia Lopez, Senior Software Development Manager at Capital One
