Go is a modern programming language, which suffers from a lot of issues that were well known at the time of its creation.

- guappa 3y agoThis exact comment could have been written 10 years ago about C and 15 years ago about visual basic.
- dualogy 3y agoThat's not even the same ballpark. C is timelessness itself. The comment could have been written 30 years ago, or 30 years hence. Nice try!
