Let me guess, another ACME fan that like Rob Pike doesn't use anything fancy as editor, including syntax highlighting.

That crap allows for tooling that Go will never have thanks community culture.

With respect, the general level of day-to-day tooling for Go is way better than for Java. Go is designed to be easy to parse and easy to build tooling for.

“That crap” is at least in part a reaction to the endless stream of DocTagFactoryFactoryFactories patterns that came out of the Java world. While I think Java is a decent language with a good ecosystem, I’m completely over the idea that the only way to do things is the Java Enterprise(tm) way.

I use VIM and didn't even know ACME editor existed.

Keep building strawmen, I'll be building software.
