Go is a (IMO too) simplistic language.
It does in no way follow that it will be used to build simple systems.
- rs23296008n1 8y agoI don't think simplístic means what you think it does. Go isn't simplistic. It might be seen as simple but it isn't so simple that it loses utility. There's plenty of nuance and elegance in there to solve real problems. A simplistic version of go would have a bunch of wizards and a giant code generator that runs after you click Next enough times.
