Curious: Can you expand on his "desperation"? Handing out money? Begging on his knees? Giving away little fluffy stuffed animals? A promise of a date with Rich Hickey?
Hah. "Begging" is close :) He wasn't a speaker, but asked for a mic and started 15min speech for the newcomers, explaining that "Go has no immutable types", "channels cannot solve all the problems", "don't use Go, switch to Clojure" and so on. He also made up some example of board game, as a proof that language without immutable types is flawed and channels are not enough.
It was pretty awkward, really.
That's funny... Usualy those types of people are just a bit crazy and unable to make any kind of descent reasonning. But in that case i found the blog post pretty in-depth and well said.
