Well, let's just agree that there is some kind of selection bias in the Go community.
Go developers seem to be emphatically content with not using the best tool for the job. That makes sense, otherwise those developers wouldn't have ended up with Go in the first place.
For me it's not a question about "I can live without X?", but "why would I want to live without X?". I want the best tools to solve a job. Not some of the best tools. _All_ of them.
- jbooth 12y agoI'm gonna just throw it out there for you: You Do Not Get It when it comes to Go. Internalize that. Nobody, fucking nobody ever, has said "this tool sucks, I think I'll use it exclusively from now on". They're seeing something that you are not seeing, most likely an appreciation of simplicity.

- jbooth 12y agoYou read the golang mailing list? In addition to showing up on every HN and probably proggit thread about Go? How much time have you spent actually programming?
