That was not a mean-spirited comment, especially if you imagine someone with a bit more experience seeing the same thing recur needlessly. Grouchy with a touch of get-off-my-lawn, yes. Mean-spirited, no. Over-exuberance sometimes requires admonishment, especially when there is such a colossal waste of energy and effort like in the JavaScript "community" (OP's word, but still...). If JavaScript programmers spent more time listening and reading and less time posting "so I wrote my own" blogs we might have had things like Reactive libraries for JavaScript years ago. Throwing a word like "hate" around tells me you're likely too young to really understand what that means. Also, you picked on his tone and let the Go comment slide? Really? In short, get seasoned, dude.
