I don’t know, at this point my guess is that most people just don’t care, so those that can be bothered to comment are a bit fringe. When Go first came out, it seemed interesting, but when I checked it out it felt more like throwing out the baby with the bathwater than introducing anything of value. Not every idea since 1972 is bad. So I tried to force myself to use it for a project or two, got frustrated by exactly the things people were complaining about, and never looked at it again. I haven’t seen any meaningful adoption, so my hypothesis is that by not having the features mainstream users want, Go missed its window of opportunity and the world moved on. It’s neat that they’re adding them now, but.. well.. let’s just say that I was an absolute die-hard Perl fan for a long time so I’m familiar with this pattern.
