   My sentiment is moreso that an engineer should be trying to create robust, maintainable software and my experience has guided me towards believing that simplicity is the easiest route to this, which Go solves in my opinion.

   This is why I enjoy Go, it shepherds you to write clear and uniform code that cannot be mistaken. This is 'boring,' true, but I will die on the hill that engineering should be boring if that's what produces a robust outcome.

   I'm in the same boat. Its a bit tiresome and I feel it's getting worse (?) Fwiw, current college student. My school isn't particularly "woke" beyond having a LGBT support center, but that strikes me as common decenc

    Is virtue signaling ironic? I'm not sure what you mean by that point. However, I agree that it's a big turnoff to engage with someone using that language because it seems as if they already have their mind made up.

    What do you mean? I do not find it to be those, do not put words in my mouth. I simply mean it is inflammatory.

    The wording you use is very inflammatory for no real reason, it makes it kind of hard to engage.

    Are you really implying that white supremacy, the very thing that in my parents lifetime was the law of the land, has been reduced to a boogeyman? That is unfortunate. I'd love to engage with you more, and provide some reading or sourc

    I think we may actually be on the same side, then - my implication was that America is "freedom from persecution," _not_ freedom from criticism and/or private consequence. When I say _private_ consequence, I primarily mean if

    People tend to conflate freedom from persecution due to speech with freedom to say whatever, wherever. They are not the same.

    I think the number of people who think this PR is serious / not satire is even funnier. Maybe I'm just too young? (20)
