Bullshit. “Misses several features” doesn’t mean “misses all features ever invented”. What an absurd interpretation. There are several languages in between Go and C++ that suffer from neither problem of having too much or too little.


Your lack of specifics means you’re more interested in language bashing than discussing the relative value of features for different contexts.

It’s been almost two decades of increasing memory latency relative to clock yet Java still lacks value types? Unusable!


Alright, so you went from twisting my words to claiming I can't have an opinion unless I provide specifics. This thread already started with specifics: functional operators like map/filter/reduce/etc. What I'm addressing are personal attacks by Golang luddites.
