“As the first major open source code ever donated by Google to the world”
This is blatantly false. Have a look at https://developers.google.com/open-source/projects
By their own words, Google has released over 20 million lines of code and over 900 projects.

In reply to Timothy Prickett Morgan. Google Kubernaut here: We are not currently investigating cross-language linkages as a performance optimization - neither for JSON nor elsewhere. There's a lot more we can do with native Go code before we start that investigation.

In reply to Karl Isenberg. No, I was just speculating way beyond my pay grade. I have put in a call to ask some questions, but sometimes Google talks, and sometimes it doesn't.

They’re Go generators. The primary goal was to avoid reflection.

Script: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/hack/update-generated-conversions.sh
Result: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/pkg/api/v1/conversion_generated.go

Did they say that? I was under the impression they just wanted to use an alternative parser to avoid the reflection that the std lib json parser uses.
