I wonder what makes someone go such a great length to bash a language, any language. I say bashing, because even the few valid points in the post are not written in a constructive style. After all is there a language that can't be criticised?
Is the post written to make one feel better having a failed a project the language? (It's not me, it's the language) Or is it the failure to understand that not everyone thinks / works the same and what one finds unacceptably bothersome, others barely notice? Languages that do not cater for a real need would likely vanish on their own, they rarely need help.
As for Go, despite the differences compared to "more sophisticated" languages it works brilliantly for the projects I've encountered. I hope the author is not forced to work with Go though. For the rest of the community, we keep churning out services, giving our feedback to the Go team and seeing the slow evolution of the language without breaking our stuff in production.
