What is with all of the condescension that other developers have towards Go developers? Go has a set of highly desirable features that are very practical for building large team projects.

Imo it's unnecessarily hostile to compare go to playmobile and diplo, and it really encourages people to overlook the genuinely excellent features that go supports.

There's unreasonable hostility towards Go because it is eating the lunch of some folks' favorite languages.

It's not rare to see people feel offended by others being productive with Go and liking it.

Java/.NET, Python and Ruby? I say bring it on.
