Bottom line for me is that if you're going to be snotty about something, then at least be correct. Or better yet, don't be snotty in the first place.
You aren't doing your argument any favors when you're so hyperbolic. Go channels are manifestly not "broken."

And yet you honestly can't understand why the designers of Go didn't go down that path? Rust is significantly more complex than Go and much harder to learn.
