> I have never met a Go programmer that is bothered by the existence of Haskell. I have met many, many Haskell programmers that are bothered by the existence of Go. Ask yourself why that is. This is easy. Go programmers are more likely to claim language choice doesn't impact software much. Haskell programmers are more likely to claim language choice does matter a large amount. That means there's not as much reason for Go programmers to criticize other languages because they don't see it as mattering much. I think "language doesn't matter" is a hypocritical position that people make in bad faith though. That said, Go programmers definitely criticize other languages including Haskell for not being inferior to Go's brand of "simplicity".
