I think Ken Thompson gets little respect precisely because he designed Go. It's a large stain on his legacy that has single handedly set back the field of Software Development.
I think that if Go didn't exist he would be considered "one of the greats".
- kramerger 4y agoBeg to differ. Go is an extremely well designed and balanced language, it is extremely productive while still being easy to maintain and have pretty decent performance.
- rowanG077 4y agoGo is opinionated for sure. And many people think it's the wrong type of direction. Not everyone thinks this, as the poster I replied to likes go. And you do as well. I think that he isn't as respected as other names is because there is a substantial group that feels Go is a step backwards.
