You, software developer, are tasked with building a complex distributed system. Do you pick a high complexity language to build your high complexity system, or do you opt for a low complexity language do you can focus on the system? It depends on what benefits those language features have. More often than not, they do not provide benefit to your business. Plenty of professional systems are built in Go. This opinion that Go developers are subpar is silly rhetoric. It is not meant for everything, but for distributed systems it is great.

> This opinion that Go developers are subpar is silly rhetoric. I don't think so. But it's a fact that Go was meant for sub-par programmers.

  That really isn’t a fact. It was created to be easy to learn such that junior software engineers or people coming from other languages could get to writing effective code in a short period of time. Neither of those groups are sub-par.
