My essential issue with Go is how much it feels like cargo cult language design. Compared to other emerging languages [Rust, Clojure, Elixir, Julia...], it feels inconsistent, half-baked, uncertain what it's for or where it's going.

- gohrt 11y agoCargo cult, copying what? Go is the evolution of a design that was started before any of those other languages were dreamed up.
