It's pretty funny how this post is on the front page adjacent to a post profiling one of the Go authors that opens with mentioning his masters/PhD from Harvard/MIT.
And for more contrast, author of critique article can only brag "past few months I’ve been using Go to implement a proof of concept program in my spare time". I really hate articles from noobs who thinks they have a right to criticize something without being proficient in it. And not only about Go. At least HN comments are interesting.
