Yes, to be clear, it makes sense for back then. It was weird to see it on HN frontpage as if it were new. However the Go 2 thing is not in the same state it was in 2014; the design proposal was formally accepted and a compiler exists. It will likely take a long time to see how it hashes out, but it’s probably fair to treat it as an inevitability at this point.
