> If you don't notice that criticism of Go is immediately and vigorously argued against... Well, you can't be following the comments very closely. Huh? Have you ever argued against anything on the internet and not been countered immediately? Do you think if I'd publish criticism like this about, say, emacs, haskell, firefox, twitter or puppies, I wouldn't get comments immediately telling me that I am wrong and fundamentally misunderstanding what an editor, programming language, browser, social networking platform or adorable animal photo is all about?
