News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

This is a horrible quality article that should be below the standards of news.yc.

I agree with you.

This article mentions Java and C++ as languages that have become too complex, but without actually stating what this complexity is. Maybe it's just the summary-like nature of the article, but it talks as if we're all meant to just agree with it.

I do agree on the merits of Go (especially relating multi-core processors), but there's surely a better way of expressing these merits than bagging out Java & C++. Just seems a little tacky to me.

(Sorry for the tone of my comment.)
