+We used Scala in the early days of GDS. GOV.UK Licensing is the only remaining
+application written in Scala but we've found it hard to support because of a lack

+#### Go
 
 Go is no longer a core backend development language in GDS.
 
 The only Go service currently in production operation is the [GOV.UK
-router][router], and it is the core language for [Cloud
-Foundry](https://www.cloudfoundry.org/), which GOV.UK PaaS uses, although
-GOV.UK PaaS is being [decommissioned][pass-decom]. As such, the knowledge and
-experience of building and running services in Go is small and decreasing.
+Foundry](https://www.cloudfoundry.org/), which was used by GOV.UK PaaS.
 
-Go _may_ be an appropriate language for instances of systems programming, like
-proxying, routing, and transforming HTTP requests. However you should only
-write these sorts of components if there is no alternative maintained open
-source tool available.
+PaaS has now been [decommissioned][pass-decom].

 ## Using other languages
 
 There will be sensible reasons to not follow the above guidance on languages.
