> Except that Docker and probably Rocket work really well. And the speed of development on the projects looks to have benefitted from using Go. By this you mean that people adopted Go because it is good (in a technical sense), and because of the speed of development rather than because it was "new and shiny"? Fair point. > I'm a language geek so I totally get the whole "Why doesn't go have {Generics,Typeclasses,Hindley-Milner Type Inference,...}" arguments. Why do you bring this up?

  Don't be presumptuous.

    It's not presumptuous if that's what almost every HN comment section on an article about Go devolves into.

      It's presumptuous to assume that I will bring it up, to be specific.

        I don't think zaphar was targeting you specifically.

        I truly didn't mean to target you specifically. I was trying to be preemptive instead of presumptuous. Please accept my apology. I can see how it might have been misinterpreted.
