Its free software, and I can definitely relate to Keats that there are a lot of software projects I'd look at and think about participating in and just concede I don't want to work in my free time in whatever language its written in. Go is definitely one of those languages. My most definitions I have not given it the proper chance, but the lack of generics just turns me off as an avid user of C++ and Rust, in the same way Java has always turned me off for lacking functional features other languages have had for decades. For example, I've often thought about contributing webrtc peer support to various torrent libraries, but when I dig into them (libtorrent, libtransmission, libktorrent, etc) they are all 15+ years old codebases of either C99 or pre-C++03 C++. Considering I'm coming from Rust in my free time I know I would just drop the project within a week because of frustrations with the tooling and language. If I ever really wanted to go the extra mile, I'd use it as a learning experience for some of the Rust GUI bindings and write my own torrent library. Reinventing the wheel yes, but I'd rather spend right now a thousand hours in Rust than a hundred in a really old C code base. I imagine many of these developers like Keats feel the same way.
