Every go developer I know who likes the language disagrees with this sentiment (including myself). If you really want async/await Go is probably not the language for you. Thats ok! There are a lot of languages that other people like that I do not want to use.
We don't need to have one language to rule them all. Its fine for languages to make different choices and trade-offs.

And go is reaching the point where like Java it gets crammed down your throat. Which is probably why golang should start adding even more features
- hot_gril 2y agoLots of Golang users told me generics aren't needed until they were added. But let's leave "cult" accusations out of this.
- hot_gril 2y agoNowhere did I suggest one language should rule them all. Golang has advantages like efficiency and greenthreading, but that's not because they omitted async/await and exceptions. I just think that was a mistake. And I do use Golang on my team.
