I like it, because I&#x27;m writing network servers for the most part. Don&#x27;t use it for scientific, numeric, or desktop GUI work. You can find posts on &#x2F;r&#x2F;golang where I actively discourage that. The further you get from a network server, the worse off you are.<p>How much more balanced do you want? If &quot;balanced&quot; looks like advocacy, well, maybe the problem is the community has overshot into the trough of disillusionment: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Hype_cycle" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Hype_cycle</a><p>If the community was over-praising Go... no, actually, <i>when</i> the community was over-praising Go, you know, that thing that caused the backlash we&#x27;re in now... I was more negative. It wasn&#x27;t the Best Language Ever. It&#x27;s also not the Worst Language Ever.<p>And I&#x27;m <i>generally</i> against seeing &quot;Library X, BUT IN $X!&quot; on the front page of HN for all values of $X, but, that&#x27;s a separate discussion.
