He has a valid point. Most of the enterprise applications uses Oracle DB. I 
for one is looking for an oracle driver similar to what JDBC does (a simple 
to use, no separate installation needed). All of Go oracle drivers 
available uses Oracle Instant Client. I am currently in a hunt to migrate 
all our Java-based projects to different language. Right now, my options 
are .Net Core 2 and Go. I am more lean to Go in terms of memory footprints, 
but I find it difficult to find the necessary packages/libraries to connect 
to Oracle database.

If Google is very serious to attract enterprises to migrate their projects 
to Go, then I think they should fill those void. Don't expect that 
enterprises will migrate their DBs to PostgreSql or MySQL. That will be a 
big NO for migration.

just my 2 cents. ;)
