I'm not sure the negative comments about UNIX, C braces and C++ templates help.
They are unrelated to the case and make me feel the author isn't interested in being constructive.
The debate between terse and ugly is a non-sense. Had the author a more open mind, he'd realize that the comfort zone where we place things we call "beautiful" is flexible and what one may find ugly the other may find beautiful.
- stcredzero 17y agoWell, I'm out of steam on this rant. Why the vituperative venom if Go is so uninspired and boring? It's the noise around it, really. It's yet another celebration of technical mediocrity that has caused computing to never really live up to its potential. This offends me at a profound level. Complaints only add to the noise. Building things is the best way to add to the signal instead.

- ThinkWriteMute 17y agoYou'd be surprised how much actually gets done when being nice isn't forced and ranting once and a while is cathartic. That said Go is a uglier than a dismembered hog. There's no beauty in Go.
- wglb 17y agoForget being nice, how about some constructive criticism? That doesn't have to be nice, but in contrast with the article, has valuable content put forth.
