Agreed. However, the original submission called attention to that slide specifically, not the whole State of Go presentation. So people kept on topic :)

What do suspect when someone injects pretty strong opinions into a slide and presents them as factual in a major project like this?

What do you think would happen if there was a slide that mentioned that the culture around UTF was mainly about misogyny so they weren't going to support it?

Right? Instead of discussing the rest of the content of the slides, let's all discuss one slide.

Out of context these comments read like they're in response to a poorly written article with an inflammatory title like "Why GitHub sucks".

Yeah, I'd prefer all those comments to be about the bootstrapping and GC (they can even keep the same tone, it'd be funny at least).
