So there are two categories of Go programmers in your opinion: (1) the beginners, who will eventually feel its limitations and will advance to a better language; and (2), those who don't mind repetitive work and want to think as little as possible, those will happily use Go until retirement. Still not really flattering, is it?

Common! My example of people who don't want to think at all was clearly not in the context of developers. I'm talking about factory workers or sometimes even office workers. For golang there's certainly devs how just don't mind a certain amount of repetitive work and are happy to use Go until retirement. And I don't think that's a problem at all. People are different and I think we should embrace that. If you think being called a "factory worker" is not flattering, then that's more your personal judgement than me being objectively disregarding factory workers. Again: Try to read my response in the right context. I'm explaining why some people dislike (or even hate) the language. It was a response. Please try to keep that in mind when you reply.
