Without intention to offend. It's Golang, the language that famously ignored over 30 years of progress in language development for the sake of simplicity.

What answer do you expect?

Hey, can you please not do programming language flamewar (or any flamewar) on HN? We're trying for something else here: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

Partly this is out of memory of the good/bad old newsgroup days where this kind of thing somehow worked ok, until it didn't, but it definitely doesn't work on the sort of forum that HN is. We'd like a better outcome than scorched earth for this place.
