Agreed. Go is a shining example of Unix philosophy - but I don't mean that as a compliment. I mean it prioritizes ease of implementation over any other concerns

Agreed. Go is a shining example of Unix philosophy - but I don't mean that as a compliment. I mean it prioritizes ease of implementation over any other concerns and hence forces the user to reinvent many wheels. Forces round things into square holes, regardless of if that interface actually makes sense. And either completely ignores good ideas from other camps or goes sour grapes and claims they're overcomplicated and bad (then quietly tries to hack them on later)
Worse is better than nothing, but when better has been demonstrated to exist, worse is just worse
- phrenicfraud 3y agoI remember trying to figure out what's up with Go and left in complete disbelief when I was told that I need to install nginx on my local machine and fake a DNS entry just for go's package manager to "fetch" my local package from my local machine just so I could mess around with it how that works. All because I couldn't care less about 3rd party services like github.
