Nice to see a measured (though somewhat pro go) article about a big language’s strengths and weaknesses from someone who has been real world using it for long enough to experience the evolution of the language.
I’ve always liked go, and also think it made fundamentally good decisions and has evolved in a way that respects the original philosophy (e.g. adding genetics, but only after massive consideration).
Reddit had an enormous hate totem for go, more than virtually any other language imo, and I always thought that was strange. Curious what people here think.
