Gary Willoughby: "Why Go's design is a disservice to intelligent programmers"

[via Digitalmars-d-announce]

Btw, I have nothing against people complaining about Go's lack of 
productivity features and pointing out that they have competition 
from  D. After all, I too did some ranting on the topic back in 
2009:

«I think Go has set off onto a very nice track, but it doesn't 
seem
like you guys have really managed to communicate in which 
direction
you are heading. I expect Go to improve, but if it isn't going to
provide for more error-catching facilities then it probably isn't
worth the trouble. Go has more competition than C and C++: D 
comes to
mind along with other smaller competitors.»

Nothing is new under the sun etc...
