Nope, I’m saying that the language that was seemingly designed with either an ignorance of or disdain for the hard-won lessons from decades of prior programming languages.

There was even this condescending attitude that Google engineers couldn’t understand fancy languages anyway, so they had to dumb Go down.

My criticism really isn’t even about Go itself. Yeah it’s improving, which is great.

My criticism is about this anti-intellectual attitude that has permeated the entire Go community since its inception. It’s like hearing that college is a waste of time from people who never graduated high school.
