Pointing out shortcomings isn't impolite - writing that Go wasn't designed, but happened by accident is however (IMHO).

  Especially since it was designed by computer science luminaries who are almost certainly better programmers/engineers than the author of this blog. It's also more accurate to say that Rust wasn't designed / was an accident since it was technically a side project of one guy at Mozilla.

    Both languages were designed by probably better programmers than most in this thread. For that matter, the vast majority of successful programming languages surely were. I'm utterly lost at how that relates to anything. One can plainly be a good programmer and yet create a bad language. I'm sure you are well-informed enough to analyse his argument on its merits, even if it were written by a gang of monkeys with typewriters.

  > writing that Go wasn't designed, but happened by accident is however [impolite] That's one of the most mild and inoffensive criticisms I've ever read on the internet. You can't seriously be indignant about that.

  The truth cannot be impolite.
