Man this post is a rollercoaster. First half of the post I was absolutely starstruck by how amazing go is(I haven't had time to play with it myself yet), and was making mental note after mental note to try it out asap!
Then I got to the second half of the post, with the things he didn't like about go.
No enums? Wtf? Not having sum types is a lesser evil imo, it places you in the mediocre, but mediocre is mostly ok so that's kinda fine. But no enums? We're stuck with magic numbers? Hell naw, we banished that demon in the nineties, I ain't signing up to bring it back!
