This post seems to rising from ash. Definitely saw it on HN year ago.
I don't want to say the word "perfect language", but there is no such language that can meet the demands of every nerd on the planet, the goal of the Go programming language is stated clearly, compiling speed overweight the needs for generics, that's why LLVM is not considered for the go compiler.
Also the language is considered feature complete, if one doesn't want to met with "angry pitchforks", do the homework, e.g. the generics topic has been picked up over and over, that it's not funny anymore, if you are interested, the amount of debate online can take days to read.

- doodpants 11y agoOne of my big peeves is when a blog does not have a date stamp at the top of each post. Some have the date at the bottom of the post, which is less convenient, but at least it's there. Others don't have a date stamp at all, but you can guess when the post was written by looking at the date of the earliest comment, or the date is included as part of the permalink URL. Will Yager's blog seems to have no possible way of determining when a post was written. Which is especially frustrating since the very first paragraph of the post in question includes the phrase "at the time of writing". Well, when was that!?
