> - Simple language

So simple it can't do Object.keys()

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy writing code in Go, Rust, and TS. But my god, Go literally is a pain in the ass every time I want to do something that isn't a map reduce problem. And even for map reduce problems it's annoying due to lack of generics.

Maybe generics will finally give Go something that every other language has. A strong, useful, standard library for collections.

I agree with you, i'm not using Go myself, i tried it many times but i always hit a roadblock, it's interesting because i hit the same kind of issues with ZIG

Simple on paper, but what's the experience as a result? some are okay with it, some love the restrictions and limitations, but i personally don't enjoy them

But again, i can understand the choices and the benefits

Neither Go nor Zig are spelled ALLCAPS
