Even though it's still hip, this is why Go works in capable hands. As a new programming language / platform, it's academically quite boring. In fact, that's the number one criticism of its detractors.

- estebank 12y agoPlain text[1] editor, not a plain[2] editor. [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plain_text http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plain_text [2]: "not decorated or elaborate; simple or ordinary in character" https://www.google.com/search?q=plain https://www.google.com/search?q=plain
- _random_ 12y ago"...feel comfortable using a plain text editor..." - the year is 2014.
