This article is not complaining about Go. It’s pointing out the gotchas, which every language has. IMO it reads like it was written by someone who likes Go quite a bit, or at least is as pragmatic about Go as Go is.
- cratermoon 6y agoMy favorite books about languages are the ones that point out where the language is ambiguous or otherwise has surprising, e.g C Traps and Pitfalls and Java Puzzlers: Traps, Pitfalls, and Corner Cases, . It would be great if there were programming languages with no surprises, but I don't think that it's possible. Every language has to compromise on some things in order to solve the problems it was designed for.
