All kind of software has bugs, even 30-years old stable software has bugs. The fact that developers are actively working on new releases, features and fixing existing problems shouldn't stop the software from being in stable distributi

I never claimed Go was a functional language. Sorry, maybe I shouldn't have placed those two statements on the same line but I was talking about two different things. After all, Go does implement inheritance and OOP constructs using
