If you don't like Go, then just let go. I hope nobody forces you to use it.

Some critique is definitely valid, but some of it just sounds like they didn't take the time to grasp the language. It's trade offs all the way. For example there is a lot I like about Rust, but still no my favorite language.

Sure but life choices are one thing, but this critique is still valuable. I learned a thing or two, and also think go can improve (I understand it's because I don't grok the language but I still prefer map to append in a loop)
