Why Go is my favorite programming language
I really dislike Go as a language, it has very few means of abstraction and it feels depressing that people think you have to throw out decades of PLT research to achieve perceived clarity like this.<p>That said, these reasons are almost all linked to tooling, which is something that I have to admit Go gets right, but they're not intrinsically linked to the language itself and its feature minimalism. I wish there were better languages that had such nice tooling, but unfortunately not all langs have the luck of being backed by Google.
