On: Go has a debugger and it's awesome

It is made by Google, and has Plan9 guys on the team, what else do you need?!

The point I'm trying to make is that you can develop and debug Go code perfectly fine without a debugger, as shown by the large-scale deployments of software written in Go. Not adding Go to your tech stack because of that is... not very well thought through, to say the least.

No, it's a very valid concern. It's quite plausible that the absence of a debugger slows down the roll out to production.

Having a debugger is not the only way to debug. Thinking otherwise is not thinking.

I never said it was the only way to debug, just that between a language that only supports `printf` and one that supports `printf` and a debugger, the latter is obviously a more productive environment to work in.
