You probably stopped at the half of my comment, because I did write Go had advantages (over the likes of ruby&friends anyway).

But it's the wrong way to think about it, that's why it's in the second half of the comment. Else, people will just use go because they're told it's the cool kid on the block. WRONG way of thinking.

That is all :)




"Also, it doesnt have things like global interpreter locks." is basically the only thing you said that is anything alike what I'm asserting. And it demonstrates a knowledge of a thing I contrasted Go against, without demonstrating knowledge of what Go is & why it is different. Further let me add that I don't think "clear start/APIs/framework" captures the essence at all; there is something deeper than framing and end users here- there is something deep in the bowels that is using the machine dislike how all else do, and that is sorcery that is deeply important.


Alright - note that I generally attempt to make one point per comment, hence the succint part on Go. Your comment goes deeper, that is good. I don't believe we have diverging opinions however, hence my reply, as you did write that I was "wrong". But being wrong is difficult if we (mostly) share the same opinion.. in my opinion ;-)

Now then again, I do believe a clean start helps, and it's very possible that I didn't properly "capture the essence" , or at least not well enough
