This is a fair take. Especially after reading the two linked blogs (which have also enjoyed some time here on HackerNews). I have personally fallen into the category of "you can say you don't like Go, but you can't say it's not well designed". I've admitted as much here in years past. What has changed though is that I've written a few more apps/services with it and come to love the no-nonsense value-add. Go compiles fast, the tooling is great (The LSP for NeoVim just works) and the code written by seniors isn't vastly different than code written by mid/juniors. While I'm still not wild about the community attitude of "just build that yourself" I'm glad that the standard lib includes enough to make it possible. I'll take the boring "easy to read" code over the "let me show you how much I know about Category Theory" most days. Please excuse the dig on FP - I do truly love OCaml, Elixir and now Gleam... I also just like the simple life some days.
