Why am I not surprised that such low level of passive-aggressive attacks on Go are coming from a Rust enthusiast. I don't understand this stance. It's as if they feel threatened by Go when in reality Go doesn't even try to compete in Rust's niche. They sit distant appart in many spectrums. It's hardly constructive comparing these two languages due to their different objectives. Yet there's this constant belittling of Go as if it was a menace to Rust somehow. In professional environments, this kind of emotionally loaded tribalistic judgement has not place. Much less in engineering. This problem has even been acknowledged by a moderator on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26732757 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26732757 > Here's a take: Go is a language for engineering managers who occasionally contribute a ten liner. You can learn just enough in between your many meetings to make a simple change. You can feel proud and happy with how easy it was for you to contribute. And you can dump the verbose, repetitive drudgery onto the people below you in the org chart, it's their job to deal with this after all. But in a language that you can easily understand, you'll make sure to push for that.
