It is not just about the UI, UI sucks but the feedback they give on google groups is terrible. Reddit community is so amazing that once I was having doubts about AJAX, within ten minutes, I had two answers, one with plain JS AJAX and another with jquery. If I had been asking on google group, which I have done only once when they replied back so horribly that I stopped using it, they'd have directed me to some obscure link on the Internet and asked me to chase it down. Reddit isn't stackoverflow. This is an open source community, if someone has a problem with it, they are welcome to leave, make /r/golang as an unofficial subreddit, which it was, when it started and before the robotic overlords took over the subreddit.

Is it really true that /r/golang is friendlier than go-nuts? If so then Golang should make /r/golang official and wind down go-nuts. Community friendliness is way more important than platform politics, and the unfriendliness on go-nuts might turn some people off to Golang.

  Yes, /r/golang is way more friendlier than go-nuts. I say this by proof. 1. One year ago I started learning Go. It was difficult to understand it, I read a lot of books and stuff. I started working on http://github.com/thewhitetulip/Tasks http://github.com/thewhitetulip/Tasks, Later, I realised that there isn't a free resource to teach what I learned, so I tried to share my knowledge by creating this, http://github.com/thewhitetulip/web-dev-golang-anti-textbook/ http://github.com/thewhitetulip/web-dev-golang-anti-textbook.... The first post I made was to /r/golang: I got immensely +ve feedback, suggestions etc. The second post I made was that google group, I was told "The language is called Go and not Golang" and the condensed feedback from the elites was (after someone rallied behind me saying that give real feedback and this is being jerk and blah blah) that "it might be the case that suraj wrote a good book but people won't take it seriously until the language name is corectly used" Who cares about the title of the book? I certainly don't. I have read astaxie's book, codegansta's book, both had golang in their title. Their content was amazing. I loved them, didn't care about the title The links are below As another instance, I wanted help in AJAX one year ago, I asked /r/golang, I got two examples in half hour, one with plain JS another with jquery. Do you really think that if /r/golang was so "toxic" and "scum" as they call it on the go-nuts mailing list (a glaring violation of the CoC shoved down our throats) that there would be a consensus among /r/golang to unequivocally say "if Go authors don't participate in /r/golang then they are welcome to step down?" I do not understand what they want to do, Guido created python, is he the mod of /r/python, does he care what authors name their book? "oh the language is Python with a capital P", no, he does what he does and let's the community handle the community. my exp with /r/golang https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/5dkobc/sample_webapp_with_vue_as_frontend_feedback_please/ https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/5dkobc/sample_webap... https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/56mgxb/learn_how_to_write_webapps_in_go/ https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/56mgxb/learn_how_to... https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/50ih0s/whats_up_with_gomobile/ https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/50ih0s/whats_up_wit... https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/4zyjye/network_programming_with_go/ https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/4zyjye/network_prog... https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/4kbup2/can_webapps_be_totally_stateless/ https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/4kbup2/can_webapps_... https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/4jxtdg/building_an_api/ https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/4jxtdg/building_an_... https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/4jaiun/updated_my_todo_list_app_in_go_to_handle_multiple/ https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/4jaiun/updated_my_t... https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/4ihjk7/added_session_handling_function_in_my_app/ https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/4ihjk7/added_sessio... https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/46vb6x/want_to_discuss_handling_authentication_in_go/ https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/46vb6x/want_to_disc... https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/45uqpw/updated_my_todo_list_manager_file_uploads/ https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/45uqpw/updated_my_t... https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/439asd/simple_commandline_go_application_to_notify_to/ https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/439asd/simple_comma... https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/3zle8c/i_am_writing_a_book_about_writing_web_apps_with/ https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/3zle8c/i_am_writing...
