Why I'm not very excited about Go

Read Original

This article presents a detailed critique of the Go programming language from 2009. The author argues that Go's C-derived syntax, separate declaration/assignment operator, and lack of generics are major design flaws. It also questions the novelty of features like goroutines (viewed as fibers) and interfaces, concluding that the language's touted advantages are not compelling.
