The fathers of C created AWK as C on steriods, and even though they were a success in this endeavor, they were wise enough to create it as a domain specific, and not a general purpose language. If you study their works afterwards, up to Go, they always developed domain specific minilanguages, and always split the difficult problems into many small programs, hence Plan 9. This is very instructive in the context of their previous achievements. They even recommend to solve problems by creating a domain specific minilanguage, but only when this is appropriate to the problem at hand.
Now fast forward to Go. These guys really know what they're doing, and still Go is a research project, unlike Rust, they're not trying to actively sell it to the populace at large, because they know just how difficult it is to create a good systems programming language. So yeah, you bet your patootie I'm angry at anyone who thinks they can do it better. It's not even that they screw it up, that's part of learning and gaining insight, but that they actually actively attempt to sell it as a good solution. Meanwhile, it's even more complicated than the previous solution! And then let's suppose someone invests about a decade to master that new language, such as it is: by that time a pile of other people come along thinking that they know it better and invent their own languages; sometimes they invent a new language just because they think it should have a different syntax, as was the case with Ruby, in the author's own words! Unbelievably arrogant! And now that becomes the new hotness. Congratulations, you just wasted a decade of your life on something that's not in fashion any more. That would be no problem if we lived for 500 to a 1,000 years, or if we were immortal, but we only have this one life, and the length of our life is a blip in the universe. So it turned out to be a huge waste of time. That's the part that really angers me.
