Ask HN: What do you dislike most about Golang?

• networkimprov 8y ago
  The bulky error handling in a language that prides itself on readability. Go experience: full time for 2y.
• thepapanoob 8y ago
  all the information that gets hidden in plain sight: like the capital first letter indicating if a func / member is public or not time coding go: to short because this seriously keeps me away from learning it
  • networkimprov 8y ago
    It's well worth learning and using despite "features" like that.
• karmakaze 8y ago
  Very limited ability to factor code especially related to error handling. Go2 will have some broken form of generics so that will help. Why do I say broken? Because they are starting from scratch to come up with something different rather than taking something good and making it better.

    Can you elaborate on "factor code"? Lack of error handling blocks?
