When Microsoft bought GitHub they cancelled GitHubs own early CI effort and rebranded the existing Azure DevOps as GitHub Actions.

The GitHub Actions runner source code is all dotnet. GitHub was a Ruby shop.

I believe the original GitHub Actions was in Go - it used HCL which was at that point only really implemented in Go. Quite the move backwards to switch to YAML.
