Bringing up goland always annoys me for some reason. Like, it's really practical, it is fast, but not actually low-level, it compiles fast, and most importantly it is very popular and has all the libraries. It seems like I should use it. But I just almost irrationally hate the language itself. Everything about it is just so ugly. It's a language invented in 2009 by some C-people who are apparently oblivious to everything that excited PL design folks for the last 20 years (as of 2009). PHP in 2009 was already a more modern and better designed language than goddamn golang. And golang didn't really improve since. I just cannot let it go somehow.
