"Community" is kinda the key word there, because when someone is "along for the ride" over a period of many years then a ratcheting of complexity is easier to cope with than it is to arrive cold in a big/complex language.

- pjmlp 2y agoI agree with the idea, as I imagine someone landing today on C++23, C23, C# 12, Java 22, will have a much hard time that those of us that know them pretty much since their first baby steps as programming languages. As per my own experience since the mid 1980's. However, exactly because Go had such an history of language evolution to learn from since FORTRAN came to be in 1958, maybe some of the early decisions could have been done better, instead of Apple style, "we are not doing X, for years later, X is actually something we want".
