I agree with many of your points but is this kind of generalized ad hominem really necessary? There are many people (myself included) who don’t have CS degrees yet are still capable developers and programmers. I don’t see how criticizing someone’s lack of a formal CS education has anything to do with criticisms about Go as a language.

- stickfigure 7y agoIt's a deliberately provocative comment to be sure. But I'm not trying to demean people who don't have CS degrees, just the ones that are proud of it. The Go community puts out a lot of smug articles like the OP bashing other languages for having features that Go lacks. Inside the community it's largely an echo chamber. When this stuff hits the broader community, I want pushback.
