> Should I just accept the same kind of answer we've had for 4 years on the Go webpage, and move on?

Yes. Clearly its time to find another language that better suits your needs and is managed more to your liking.

Isn't that like a really inadequate answer to people trying to critisize/improve things? I sure get the rednecky "If you don't like this country mister, then go live somewhere else" vibe from it.

Clearly the fact that you are satisfied with Go doesn't stop you from inteferring with people having discussions about its (perceived) shortcomings.

So why should my disatisfaction with it prevent me from discussing it Especially if its a dissatisfaction with some aspects of it, and not the whole thing? By the same logic, nobody should use anything (nor complain about anything), since all languages have shortcomings that they don't like.


You've misread my comments and are trying to make them into something they're not. I wasn't calling you out for criticizing Go or trying to discuss its shortcomings. I was calling you out for being a dick to Enneff. I think my original comment was fairly clear about this.

Anyways this is a pointless argument. I'm sure youre a great guy in person.

Well, we appreared as representing the Go team, and then rehashed the old "we're actively looking into it" response. I was not trying to be a dick, just wanted something more concrete than that.

Plus, I felt like he contradicted himself, when replying to another comment and said something to the effect that they didn't do anything about generics because they are busy building other things. So I had to ask, which was it, were they actively looking into it or didn't have time and had it as a low priority?
