why the fuck would anyone use GO?

Its 2x slower than javascript, yet the syntax is even shittier http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u32/benchmark.php?test=all&lang=go&lang2=v8

has no polymorphism http://golangtutorials.blogspot.com/2011/06/polymorphism-in-go.html

shit libraries https://github.com/languages/Go

every language is getting more functional. lambdas/listcomps/generators and infinite lists are being added to languages like C++/javascript/python, while go eschews every advance in language design since 1960

So, I've been studying Golang intensively. I must say the deeper you dig, the unpleasant it gets. It all seems very inconsistent. Hardly surprising given it's designed by the same people who gave you undefined behaviors. They had a clean slate to begin with, why can't they learn from old mistakes, theirs and other peoples? I will continue my study and I shall publish my findings anonymously.
