The reason I'm focusing on the fidget spinner guy and you because those are a grandparent of the posts we're currently writing and replying to. If I wanted to reply to the other posts I would do so below those posts. I merely upvoted PhilippGille because he provided a good answer and continued with my day. We're in a chain of comments. I suggest clicking on "parent" until you get to the post I'm talking about and you'll understand better. Just because someone else was civilised once in an unrelated thread (and, as far as I know, PhilippGille is not affiliated to you) doesn't make YOUR behaviour right. Start owning up your mistakes. The explanation from Phillipp is satisfactory but isn't part of this thread, and doesn't excuse the lack of civility and personal attacks from you. Nor does it erase the fact that what you're asking for (a discussion starting with what can be improved in Go) was provided from the get-go. Seriously: the only real issue here is YOUR lack of civility. Not Golang, not the people criticising it. Own up your own mistakes. Maybe work on your issues too. Rather than picking apart and dissecting my replies and other people's, maybe try addressing YOUR behaviour at least once. You're the one whose post was flagged. It's not justified by anyone else's post.

The parent to my original comment states: > No it's simpler than that, they hate Go cause it's a half-assed language. The creators didn't respect developers enough to make it consistent and complete cause "devs are not smart enough". If that isn't the definition of flamebait and a personal attack, I don't know what is. It certainly is far enough from a measured, concrete suggestions for improvements to the language.

  Once again, this comment was crude but factual, and it was answering to a bait/attack post in the first place. And go is indeed a simpler language by philosophy that is widely criticised for lacking certain features that a lot of people consider important, and it is made for productivity according to the authors. About the "not smart enough" part, it's not a real quote, but isn't quite the exaggeration. Here's a real quote by Rob Pike: "The key point here is our programmers are Googlers, they’re not researchers. They’re typically, fairly young, fresh out of school, probably learned Java, maybe learned C or C++, probably learned Python. They’re not capable of understanding a brilliant language but we want to use them to build good software. So, the language that we give them has to be easy for them to understand and easy to adopt" – Rob Pike @ Lang Next 2014, From Parallel to Concurrent Now read the parent of that post, about the "type system fidget spinner" and you'll see what a flamebait and well disguised personal-attack looks like. Or yours, to see a real personal attack that got flagged and is now marked as dead.
