Your argument seems to rely on go being the first language someone has learned. Very few people learn go as a first language. Most people I know in the Go community have 10+ years of professional development experience in a variety of the popular imperative languages and have used go for a couple years. I'm sure there are probably some people learning go as a first language by now, but I doubt it's a significant number.
So, "not knowing any better" is kind of ridiculous.
- justthistime_ 11y agoThere are plenty of people out there which didn't manage or didn't need to advance beyond their first-year experience for the last ten years. "What did X do?" is a much better question than "How long did X do it?". (For many jobs one year of experience is perfectly fine!) I think people who can think critically and evaluate various options rarely join personality cults, which kind of explains Go's current community.
