Golang

What redeeming value does this language have at this point exactly? It tries too hard not to be C. The only important golang site after the official one was cat-v.org and its maintainer died. As for the language and compiler design itself, all this thing does is annoy me with unused variable errors making me litter fake assignments all over the place and inflexible code layouts for the function arguments.

Go is idiosyncratic minimalism-festishist crap. The creators even explicitly state that they decided not to include otherwise useful features because it would make the language ``too complex.'' Simple languages ⇒ complex, spaghetti code. Turns out that a toothpick can't replace a chisel, no matter how ``lightweight'' a toothpick would be.
