I want off Mr. Golang’s Wild Ride (2020)
Go has a lot of issues. Some of them would be easily fixable if people promoting and developing Go actually admitted the problems. However, the fanbase usually acts as a cult pretending that issues are features. Thing is, just like broken, hackish dependency &quot;management&quot; had to be fixed (introducing tons of complexity for the sake of not destroying backward compatibility), other problems will have to be fixed as well. It will add even more complexity to the language.<p>For example, Go error handling is shit. People will attempt to fix it with generics now and that will create a lot of inconsistency between different APIs. Because of those inconsistencies the entire language will loose any possibility of elegant, high-level, pre-packaged solutions for certain things (like automated logging, recovery, etc.) This loss will be permanent and the vast majority of users won&#x27;t even understand why some things are so hard.
