> 6. Go's developer mantra is at least as patronizing as Python's. Probably more so.

What do you mean by that?



One of Go's design principles is that "we're full of untalented junior programmers who wouldn't know what to do with fancy techniques anyways."

Sort of like Python's multi-decade insistence that Lambdas confuse people despite the fact that it's standard after massive popular demand even in Java.

It's quite insulting, if you ask me. Sort of like an elder telling a teen the power tools are off limits because they are "only 16 and not coordinated enough yet to use the table saw without losing a finger."


I would also like to know.
