I don't think anyone has been arguing against it's ease of use nor the ease of readability. Most people seem to be against it's ergonomics and intentional lack of features.



I like Go and it's intentional lack of feature or very slow speed of adding features is my favorite feature. May be I am a pseudo programmer like most people who dislike Go would probably say.


I'm not saying it's a good language or not. I haven't written in it enough to determine that. I know enough to say that anyone who says it's not a "Real Programming Language" is full of it.


What if those two are related? ;)
