Why is that?

I thought your comment made a lot of sense.

Because it is standard, in these discussions, for someone to quote Rob Pike to say that golang was designed for the lowest common denominator of developers.

Personally, I like go a lot for writing services and console applications.

A common HN trope is that Go doesn't have enough features (Generics usually) and gets in the way of '10x'/'competent' programmers expressing their genius - unlike Haskell (or some other advanced language for advanced minds)
