People have different ways of expressing passion. I like Go a lot, but most of the time I'll say that it "just works" or "gets out of the way". But I have a real passion for the way Go was made for software engineering rather than programming. I wouldn't describe Go as elegant, and not as brutalist either. It kind of feels like home to me. We don't have an equivalent to that Exceptional Creatures website, which I find beautiful. But we have my favorite technical writing ever. It's always a joy to read something written by Rob Pike, Ian Lance Taylor, Alan Donovan, Russ Cox, and lots of others.
