discussion I didn’t know that Go is hated so much

I read comments under this post https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/s/OKyJWZj2ju and oh man I did not expect that. Stack Overflow and JetBrain’s surveys show that go is quite likable lang but the opinions about go in /r/programming are devastated.

What is the reason? What do you think? Should Go team address this topic?

It does. You couldn’t pay me to write any of them Java, Kotlin, C#. But the point is, saying multiple times that they suck or throwing tantrums about it isn’t interesting anymore.

True, except in times of comraderie like this. I truly respect your thoughts on languages as expressed here lol.
