I agree with the spirit of what you are saying, but I'd nit pick and say that lack of generics and presence of implicit null types make Go not simple and not practical over other options in the same space.
- geodel 6y agoAs someone using Java which has null and hardly using any generics even though they are available in Java. I find Java immensely practical with huge number of libraries and other facilities of ecosystem. Seems you are of the opinion if you do not find something practical no one else can.
