Yeah, different perspectives indeed. But to me it seems unreasonable that for example the tablet I'm writing this on somehow came into existence by itself. Touchscreen, CPU, OS and no creator at all? The things we see in nature are much more complex than my tablet?
This is bullshit. Just continue to work 16 hours a day, increase your productivity and your startup will succeed. After that you'll be happy forever. And your investor too.
Were there any code examples provided that show how to easily trigger races & deadlocks? I mean, the Go team needs to be aware of these problems and provide a fix or something.
I also agree with the Go team. Although I am a big fan of functional language constructs like map & filter, adding them to Go does not feel right. One of the great things about Go is that it's simple but it does not hide much from you. You still know exactly what is going on (concurrency& channels being an exception). That's why I find it easy to read Go code.
Comparing Go and Rust doesn't feel right. They are obviously designed for solving different kind of problems. Go is a simple language, maybe even too simple for my taste. But simplicity is its greatest strength. And I can understand people who would prefer Go as their go-to language for dealing with specific kind of problems. Go is a boring language but gets you where you want to be in a short time and without much suprises. Rust, on the other hand is designed for systems programming. It's got some nice features but it's also a lot more complex language than Go. I don't want to fight compiler all the time. Sometimes I don't need that kind of safety.
