Go is a crap programming language with a good runtime. - No generics - No true buy-in on the idea of a structural typesystem - No sumtypes - An anti-intellectual fanbase - Exceptionally painful error handling - Zero ability to abstract anything out without relying on the reflection package which leads to brittle and slow software. They didn't do everything wrong though. - It's great that they have a spec (I wish it came with formal semantics, but still) - It compiles quickly and is easy to analyze (so tooling w.r.t. LSP is great and exceptionally fast) Anyway, I never find programming in Go fun, and I find Rob Pike to be obnoxious. OK, that last part might just be me projecting how obnoxious Go is onto him.
