“Go’s design is a disservice to intelligent programmers”

I have to agree about the generics, and agree a bit about error handling too.

Also, I wasn't impressed by the speed. I wrote a program in Ruby, Go and Elixir and expected Go to win, but is was 1x, 5x, 20x respectively, and I could never figure out why there was such a discrepancy.

Even so, if they added generics and improved performance, I would be very inclined to use it. It is surprisingly comfortable to code in.

I would wager it was human error.

1 program in Ruby to measure the speed of whole language is not enough. https://xkcd.com/605/
