Well, in many respects Basic, PHP, Javascript, Java all had various forms of "anti-intellectualism" baked. They lost some of them along the way.

Still, the fact that all those languages are in the top 10 of programming languages kind of says that people don't really care.

Go is against the sort of programming that builds up conceptual dream worlds of gratuitous abstraction and needless complexity. When that's the only way you want to think, Go will indeed seem anti-intellectual.

A modern programming language without any whatsoever support for generics from my point of view is just extremely bad, for someone else can very well be proof of anti-intellectualism.
