> You probably were sarcastic

I don't know that sarcastic is the correct word, but I certainly wasn't completely serious. Maybe "playfully antagonistic".

I suppose the problem I have here is, if I was designing a language, and composability was a stated goal, then I wouldn't have come up with Go.

> a brilliant article from Rob Pike about using and composing functions to create flexible APIs

I'm sorry, but that API is not something to be proud of.
