There’s certainly lots to criticise in Go, as in any language, that’s why I said ‘most’, though I’d say it was peak HN hubris to say it was put together by ‘amateurs or fools’. JSON is not related to go but perhaps you have some problem with the JSON parser? Works fine me… Personally I don’t find the time constants a problem at all, I’m not keen on the time parsing layout, but that’s relatively minor. Channels I don’t have strong opinions about and goroutines if used sparingly I’ve found a nice balance of utility and simplicity for creating threads, but I recognise I’m not really qualified to argue about them.
