The guy built a programming language in the 2010's by ignoring everything that happened in the computer science community since his heyday, and tried to spin it as an improvement.
The ways people found to circumvent his hubris are pretty entertaining [1].

- anthk 3y agoYour comment it's utterly wrong. Go's backstory dates back to Alef/Inferno and Plan9, and tangentally related to Plan9's C compiler suite. If any, Go was born to replace C/POSIX and all the bloat which grew up over 40, (forty) years. The same with 9front with Unix, which is closer to the Unix philosophy than any close relative, such as OpenBSD. Everything it's a file under 9front, even the windows themselves. Rust wants to replace C++ mainly.
