> But why can't people just live and let live instead of trying to make out their personal preferences are measurably better than those they dislike? After all, if all programming languages were identical then the IT industry would be worse off for it. I enjoy programming in Go about as much as I enjoy wearing shoes about 3 sizes too small. As a result, it's my goal to find very good arguments against its use in any of my projects. Should I feel bad about this? If so, can you come and stop people from powerdunking on me every time I talk about how Haskell is good at something? I'm not mocking Golang here. It is what it is. I think it's an oddly designed tool based more around making Google's turnover easier to deal with rather than helping me as a software engineer. I am expressing frustration at people who want to laud its design as "good" or "progressive" or helpful when really, it's the language equivalent of a querty keyboard layout. Designed to be about as easy to learn as anything but prevent anyone from getting excessively good with it, because large skill gaps in a workforce with turnover are hard to manage around.
