The Rob Pike quote is accurate and not condescending. If it bristles your feathers, I think that may have more to do with your ego than Rob pike.

- jjtheblunt 3y agoThat’s a curious assertion in that oft maligned quote. I agree that it’s not meant to be condescending. Go is very much AT&T Limbo from plan 9, with loose ends wrapped up and refined on Google’s dime, since Google brought Bell Labs people and their projects to Google, and the quote is therefore a purposefully misleading retrofitting of a history and design predating any concern about noob hires at Google.
