Go is definitely of the “worse is better” philosophy. You can basically predict what someone will think of Go if you know how they feel about that design philosophy. I remember that famous rant about how Go’s stdlib file api assumes Unix, and doesn’t handle Windows very well. If you are against “worse is better” like the author, that’s a show stopping design flaw. If you are for it, you would slap a windows if statement and add a unit test when your product crosses that bridge.
