What a nonsense. If you are limited by a language then maybe you just chose the wrong language for the job. I guess your argument about the vast ecosystem of go libraries and tools is that they are all created by mediocre programmers? Another note: most of us are "mediocre" and many of those who think they are somehow great, often turn out to be just "mediocre" themselves when put into a certain situation. And maybe you are truly a genius, only work alone and Go really limits you. You are free to choose whatever language you want. But don't project your outlier experience onto everybody or even onto teams of people with vastly different skill levels.

Yeah I fully agree - there is nothing bad about that at all. But that does not change what I'm trying to say: once you grow more skills have more experience (which happens to most people), go starts to limit you a lot more than other languages. No "genius" needed. And it's not only me thinking that if you look at the other responses here. So, hype go as an easy language to learn? Fine by me! Hype it as a language that is more productive than others? I have to disagree.
