Man, I've lately seen so many posts criticizing Go. They must have done something pretty well with it. It's sad that I see more posts criticizing Go than posts talking positively about it.

To be fair, it feels like survivor's bias. People are more vocal about criticism. When you agree, well, what is there to say? Nothing, you just use it, instead.

In that light, the actual usage statistics are probably a better metric of the language's success than the +/- ratio on hacker news.
