> The attitude from the Go community is almost like an anti-intellectual one isn't it? I hear you. There was a funny post a couple years ago weighing a bunch of languages on republican/conservative vs. democrat/liberal scale. But the author erred with Go. Go is certainly the most republican conservative language out there today. Go not only adopts the anti-intellectual stance but comes across as a language that's controlled by "religious leaders" who dictate not only the the direction of the language but its "morality" too. And those who use the language feel the same hidden pressures from constraints. This leads to a weird state of having to "believe" in a language and defending things: "like less is more", "choices are bad", and having others determining what you want and need. And this is the most annoying part. Because Go is really not a bad language. It's simple and constrained but easy to get into and easy to get stuff done. But Go's the whole attitude comes across as somewhat off-putting to window shoppers who might actually purchase and be fine with it otherwise.
