Anti-intellectual seems an off key remark to me, I'd say Go just takes a different school of thought. Intellectualism doesn't mean everything should follow one path.
- commentzorro 11y agoI don't think Go is anti-intellect as a language. I'm saying it's feature set makes it a definite choice to track an austere path. This seems to bring about a certain zeal and, especially for recent converts, a seeming need to proselytize. It's as if those new to Go need to convince themselves by saying out loud that they are, in fact, heading down a good and righteous road. I just haven't seen this sort of quasi faith-based argument coming from the other languages in the Algol tree.
