He’s stating the goal of the design, not an assertion that they got everything right. Obviously there are lots of places where the design fell short. But the philosophy behind the approach to future design is unchanged. Channels were an attempt to add something very new to the language and so it’s not a surprise that the design ended up being problematic. I’m sure Russ has thoughts on that, too. But the vast majority of Go code doesn’t use channels. The fact that lots of people have trouble with them doesn’t change the fact that the vast majority of Go code does follow this principle.
