I'm dismissing it because it's dumb, not because it's hyped. Rust also has a lot of hype and is a much better language. You don't have to like Clojure or Algol or APL or Haskell but these languages at least have some intellectual merit. Golang on the other hand... I'm at a loss for words for how deliberately bad it is.
