I thought the criticism was pretty balanced. I've seen worse articles here about other languages. Pretty used to getting this feeling about the Python articles. It's almost always about the lack of some feature that exists in other languages. It seems to be part of the cycle of a language that gets widely adopted. I think the next step is that people stop fighting over it and just accept that it has some nice features and some bad parts. Articles like this helps me (as a dev who's not using go very often) getting a feeling for what types of problem go might be good for and not. If it's well-written like this one, I think it's a good balance to the many positive articles that I've read. Clearly the author cares a lot about language design. I get that he might be coming from a different background with different tastes. The fact that he doesn't like go isn't saying your time spent learning the language has been for nothing. Clearly a lot of code is being written in it, don't worry! Here's some stuff he's done: https://fasterthanli.me/about https://fasterthanli.me/about I think he's entitled to an opinion either way though. Very interesting to see the response. Had no idea it was this touchy. I can get a bit weary seeing the millionth article saying that Python sucks because it doesn't have a feature of another language - but it also makes me want to try out that other language for myself.
