> Are you trying to say that Go is not in fashion and has made mainstream language choices? I can't even understand how you can be constructing such a statement. "In fashion" and "mainstream" are pretty synonymous to me. In consequence, the statement is contradictory. Hence, No, I am clearly not trying to say that. > I think you're just upset about the choice of the word hipster No I'm saying that the team behind Go is just really considerate and principled. They don't follow all the latest fads, simply because those fads are the reason why so many other languages suck and projects written in them become giant unmaintainable hairballs. They are engineers (label them conservative if you like). Not hipsters.
