I’m curious to know those reasons. I’d like to pretend that I have a valid argument against Go.
For one - the error handling. Every codebase is filled with messy, hard to type:
if err != nil { ... }And it doesn’t even give you a stack trace to debug the problem when an error happens, apparently.
Second reason - it lacks many features that are generally available in most other languages. Generics is the big one, but thankfully they added them in last half a year or so. In general Golang’s design principle is to implement only the required minimum.
And probably most important - Go is owned by Google, aka the “all seeing eye of Sauron”. There was recently a big controversy with them proposing adding an on-by-default telemetry to the compiler. And with the recent trend of enshittification, I wouldn’t trust google or any other mega-corporation.
Yeah the “owned by google” thing is a big turn-off. And telemetry… he’ll no. Also it’s weird that Go doesn’t have a ternary. It’s a small thing, but it’s a thing.
