Retitled from ‘Lisp vs. golang’ because ‘golang’ instead of ‘Go’ is akin to ‘LISP’ instead of ‘Lisp.’
His substantive comments are generally correct, but I think it’s important to note that Go’s not really meant for clever code like function composition and the like — it’s meant for plodding, straightforward code which is boring and does its job. That’s not a criticism! ‘Code which does its job’ is something that we have far too little of in the world.
