To me, Go culture is very arrogant, so much in fact that it almost reminds me of some Lispers of old.
Unfortunately similar thing can be said about Rust. However, in Rust, most of the crap seems to be comming from zealous newcommers and a loud minority, while the leadership and people involved seem relatively humble (or at least not too arrogant). In Go, OTOH, the arrogance seems to be stemming all the way from the top, judging from some talks & blogs by Pike, Cheney et al. Pike in particular seems to me to be a very arrogant, unpleasant person. I respect him very much as an engineer, but I will never like the way he speaks, promotes Go and spreads FUD about other languages.
