Go as a language is not fun at all. Nor very good. Weaker type system and less language features that increase productivity and readability than C#, Java, Kotlin and Typescript, no null checks.
Go as a runtime is outstanding.
Go's tooling, stability and governance are very good.
Nothing is perfect. Enter into your compromise.
- zaptheimpaler 2y agoI understand the pragmatic point of view but that doesn't mean I can't point out its flaws or that this was some necessary compromise - it was a choice. There's no reason the Go platform couldn't be as stable as it is and also not be a braindead language from the 90s. As an example Rust has its flaws but it does have all the modern language niceties with great tooling, build system and a solid platform.
