Rob Pike once told me I was a moron (not those exact words) but that intent when I asked a question in some performance Golang slack about how big a Golang map is in memory (as in the total bytes used by it internally). He went to a previous commit from the one I had linked, saw my stupid attempt at estimating it, and proceeded to go on a rant in which he simultaneously called me an idiot and pointed to the answers in the runtime code. Pretty entertaining. Of course, the code was stupid because I wrote it knowingly so, just so I could fill the function with compilable code and go debug something else. I guess not writing a comment is on me for not knowing Rob Pike was going to go out of his way to find it the next day. Fun day at the office, that one. So yeah, I am not the greatest fan of Go or him either. But that was from way before when I had to write a JSON-LD parsing library and cast stuff to `interface{}` everywhere. I write personal stuff in Rust now, but would happily do it in any other language with a proper toolchain and type system. Go has only one of those, so I don't dislike it. Just don't really enjoy it.
