I have to admit I don’t understand your comment. I’ve looked at the Golang stdlib and its crypto parts (disclaimer, I found a CVE in the math parts), and found the assembly code pretty awful. This was before filippo was working at Google. It’s all about performance, similar to how openssl has fast but unauditable code for crypto. There’s no documentation and it’s hard to understand how that code was produced. From some discussions I had with filippo years ago it sounded like he agreed and was trying to clean parts of these now that he was working there. It looks like progress is being made, and if he can share his learnings along the way let’s benefit from that instead of being mad at him no? Sharing is caring. I mean even in a world where he would have written that code originally, what’s wrong with being transparent about it? Everybody writes bugs.

  So you are saying while he worked there he didn't do anything about the problem, and now that he's gone he's shit-talking his old employer? I have no beef with either Filippo or Google or Go. Or you for that matter. But this weaseling needs to stop. Now feel free to downvote me, you hypocrites.

I posted what I did because the OP made it sound like filippo was still working at Google. I just wanted to point out that as of next month it will have been a year since filippo left. Beyond that, I was NOT proferring any sort of opinion on what fillipo may or may not have done whilst wearing the Google hat.
