I personally hate the empty interface and definition shadowing of Go but that could be just me not “getting it”. Fortunately at work we don’t use that too often

I think most of the criticism is from people like me coming from C++. I am continually baffled that people write web backends in Python and Node at all, to me they seem so inappropriate that criticizing them would be a waste of time. I would consider Go to be much much better overall, and thus worthy of actual criticism
