So he complains about stuff that is alread fixed? Shall we now go back to the first version of ffmpeg? Or php pre php5? or pre java 8? or C++ pre C++11?

Come on.

He should try golang and then come back instead of relying on blogposts to form his opinion

The argument being made is that Go's design isn't so much "forward thinking" as it is driven by Google's interests.

What they are not stating is that Go is a conservative language with a standard library hampered by that conservatism, nor are they making a judgment on the current state of the language.

If you are going to criticize someone's post, give them the respect of actually reading their argument, and not just writing a knee-jerk reaction.
