> The appeal of Go is that it has just the bare minimum feature set to be useful for modern backend engineering. It's a language that you can completely fit within your head within a few months of To me, golang symbolizes the shift of philosophy of Google as a company. It changed from "it's a smart nerd company for smart nerd people" to "golang will allow us to hire cheaper devs because golang will prevent them from making mistakes". I mean, this makes sense from business perspective, I won't deny this fact, but it's the programming equivalent of Ferrari making a SUV: tremendously profitable, but sad to see. BTW > golang doesn't support overloading because overloading is bad. Having said that, it's 'go', not 'golang', like the verb 'go', which already has a thousand meanings depending on the context I find that hilarious
