> C# and Java are not it. This needs elaboration. Those languages pretty much are the canonical example of "not a great language, but stellar and unmatched too

  Unfortunately I was pretty confusing. The G-GP had said 'imagine how much worse other languages are', and I was pointing out that I don't know which those other languages with worse tooling are. That phrase was meant to say 'Java and C# are obviously not languages with worse tooling'. That is, I agree with you, and considered it obvious that Java and C# have stellar tooling.

  > not a great language it really depends on how you define a great language. btw. C# can do everything that golang can, but has a different inheritance interface. Also C# has some stuff that golang does not can, like an easier way of working together with C++. Btw. Java is nearly in the same boat. It has a different inheritance interface and can nearly do all things that golang can (except maybe csp/channels and can not be as memory efficient than C# and golang). But the point still stands. Golang basically can do less than both.
