> Go wants your code to always be fully realized and clean, which just doesn't mesh with reality. It certainly meshes with my reality.

  Sure. Great. However, there are other realities outside yours.

    ...yes, of course. Acknowledging the diverse set of realities is the point of my original comment :)
    • lobster_johnson 11y ago
      ...But the fact that it is diverse is the exact problem that Go doesn't address.
      • sagichmal 11y ago
        A language isn't obliged to serve all realities equally. Quite the opposite: a language, a framework, a system -- a product -- should carve out a set of contexts that it's explicitly targeting, and fiercely guard those boundaries. Otherwise, you get terrible products that are nothing more than the lesser sum of their features, like JIRA, or Scala.

          This is about basic ergonomy, though.
