Perhaps not in the short term, but I hope the comment does lead to some benefit in the long term, despite semi-religious attachment of some to a particular technology. Even the most flippant of downvoters will perhaps remember these words months or years into the future.
I don't use or particularly like Go, but I don't see what use is supposed to come from this. These comments aren't reasoned criticism — they just come across as bashing and sneering, as though you have some kind of grudge against a programming language. If you actually mean to contribute to the discussion, I think you might benefit from taking a few steps back.
No sneering involved at all, I assure you! Just an interest in programmer productivity, which I see as genuinely helpful.
Perhaps you see all languages as roughly equivalent and that is the cause of our differing opinions. In any case I've known quite a few engineers who have really drunk the koolaid, invested heavily in Go, become zealots for of the language and suffered for it before moving to options like Rust, Elixir, Kotlin or even Java or C++.
I'm just trying to prevent some of that suffering going forward. Nothing more nefarious than that!
People generally need to see a message many times before it sinks in, especially if it's one they disagree with. Perhaps for you, there remain many more before any benefit is accomplished. That's okay.
It's also possible that your needs align particularly well with those of those who control the project. That's okay, too!
