Well, yeah, it was made by Google.

Regarding which line?

Lied, you can use Go in GAS. Oops.

I hear that Go is (annoyingly) designed in such a way to force Google engineers to code in a certain way.
So basically a language designed around Google's Style Guides?

Doesn't look like it. Languages are definitely independent from programming styles (except Python) xD

No. Just because some languages are doesn't mean that it's impossible to design a programming language that isn't.
And haven't you wondered why Google doesn't have a Go style guide?
btw Python is

“No” what? lol

So many pronoun references to seemingly absent nouns…

Google doesn't have a Go style guide because the Go style guide is here.

That's not exactly a style guide.
Go forces certain styles, eg:
One consequence of the semicolon insertion rules is that you cannot put the opening brace of a control structure (if, for, switch, or select) on the next line. If you do, a semicolon will be inserted before the brace, which could cause unwanted effects. Write them like this
if i < f() {
    g()
}
not like this
if i < f()  // wrong!
{           // wrong!
    g()
}
not that Go is bad, I haven't tried it…

My response: Go is C++ for those who would rather not spend hours figuring out what the heck is causing a segfault 0.01% of the time they run their code.
pls no
just debug it and write good code

So then write good Go code. Use whatever tool you want as long as it meets your needs.
I know that, I'm simply telling MATU that using Go isn't an excuse for writing bad code…

Nice bump

It's a good language for the most part. I just don't like the way you handle exceptions:
res, err := RunFunction()
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}
It lets you handle exceptions well, but it shouldn't make you always handle them

holy mother of necroposts.
have you ever used go?
i'm assuming not
did you read the whole article?
also assuming not
the whole thing is just complaining that there's not much abstraction in the file library (good, the language was designed to be minimal)
the last part of the article is complaining that packages depend on more packages. interesting, seeing as how they constantly compare go to rust, whose compile time grows exponentially with the number of packages added lol
this article basically says “go is supposed to be simple but my code is long why ”
…except they don't realize a “simple” language doesn't mean short code, it means a language that does everything the same way… which is what the article shows
i'd be interested to hear *your* thoughts specifically on why go is bad

On a serious note, I'd be interested if Go is still as relevant now, or perhaps moreso
