What it gets right is that it's just a tool not a play field for academics.

- the_duke 10y agoI admit to having a personal gripe with Go. I initially really liked it. But the languages designers just skipped over countless years of achievements in language design and implemented a C with garbage collection, with interfaces and a baked in CSP runtime. If you read a bit in the groups / release notes, they were just too lazy to implement generics. Or it was too hard. Go's ecosystem is really weak (for example, barely any library does proper versioning or any release procedure at all). I think that is at least part due to the difficulty of writing clean, generic code. And the lack of proper packaging. The lack of features is not a selling point, even if they try.
