HN has become a cesspool for certain topics in recent years. Go threads being the worst; all the ego's seem to come out of the woodwork. I almost never bother reading the comments on anything Go related these days because it's just full of wannabe 10x programmers overstating academic edge cases as if no other language in history has ever had a shortcoming.
Yep, they construct a strawman argument about some niche edge case where Go was outperformed by some language. Or come up with some contrived examples where Go would Absolutely Need Generics.
None of those people have actually written any Go professionally.
