You just didn't get what I was getting at. Go as a language is fine, and it's OK to like it and to use it.
The problem is that it can't get better, and the obvious issues can't get fixed because any improvements to the language are mired in Google's infighting process.
There were internal voices pointing out a need for generics 10 _years_ ago.
Instead, their PR messaging is convincing people that actually they don't need generics, instead of admitting that the language is incomplete.
- ferdowsi 5y agoThe messaging always was "we haven't come up with a good solution for generics." this is in the faq. https://golang.org/doc/faq#generics https://golang.org/doc/faq#generics
