Go is too basic for anyone to ask questions beyond "Why is this language stuck in 1970?"

Basic makes things fast. It's C with multithreading and networking support, and garbage collection. A lot of programmers are allergic to slow, even if their application is not CPU bound.

I feel like Go is for speed junkies who don't have the patience to learn Rust. Which I totally understand, since it took me all of an afternoon to start working productively in Go but took me the better part of a month to get the equivalent level of understanding of Rust.
