I don't hate Go, as much as I detest the breathless fans of the language. I am a "former-ish" python programmer who now uses D for present projects with an eye towards Rust for building libraries and low-level system stuff. I also use Nim in place of Python for a few personal scripting projects.

All these languages are statically typed and in my understanding of Programming Languages, way better than Go.

Sorry, I didn't mean that as a dig against you specifically. Just a generalised comment as I've just noticed a backlash on HN wrt Go.

Nim's often interested me. I'd really love to try it but sadly it's lack of mainstream support means it would be hard to justify using Nim in any professional capacity, which vastly limits it's usefulness to me. And sadly I don't have enough free time to learn languages for fun these days.
