Half a million lines of Go
It would be kind of a fun experiment to require a rough estimate of LoC written in a given language be included in feedback about that language. These comments are kind of a cesspool of poorly written feedback that wraps ambiguous complaints about &quot;readability&quot;, &quot;maintenance&quot; and even the silly take of &quot;Go is a language for engineering managers&quot;, whatever that means. I suspect most of the negative comments on any language come from people that have spent practically no time writing it, and thus are inherently uninformed.<p>Of course, if you hate a language, you&#x27;re not going to write lots of code in it (unless you have to, and then I would expect your feedback to be pretty negative but at least informed). Feedback from beginners&#x2F;programmers external to a language is super important for the success of that language of course, but lots of debates about things like programming language are cluttered with feedback that isn&#x27;t really made in good faith. Someone that doesn&#x27;t like static typing is going to leave feedback about Go that may not directly say &quot;I just don&#x27;t like static typing&quot;, but ultimately is as simple to reconcile (and thus, should mostly be discarded).
