Rubbish, and saying so undermines the rest of your points.

Although there are open-source projects which use C++, I and many others avoid them like the plague. I think he meant 'approximately ZERO' in the Spolsky sense, which is 'sure, there are some, but in the grand scheme of things they're indistinguishable from ε.
- thockingoog 11y agoWonderful rebuttal. Proof? There are some successful projects, but that is not a community. There are some libs, but that is not a community. The Go community is vibrant and growing. Go is an easy language to learn (and I say that as someone who LIKES the power of C++) and it is not a total joke to ask people who report bugs to jump in and try to fix them. C++ is simply NOT approachable by mere mortals, and would have made for a very different community and a much slower pace. And I say that as someone who detests many facets of Go - but it's just better at Getting Things Done than C++.
