I wrote this 7 or 8 years ago, so it was pretty novel at the time :)

My goal was to derail the Go hype train that dominated HN at the time, and I think I was pretty successful. As you say, everyone is pretty aware of Go’s shortcomings by now.

Just another field for battle in the Go vs Rust HN comments war

I appreciate that they've done a good job of describing why things like a lack of generics hurts and alternatives, but ... yeah, this is the beaten horse.
