I am very sorry to hear about your health problems. I don't have the same challenges as you but I do have experience of when a side project explodes. I have a piece of freemium software that has been downloaded about 700,000 times and here is what i did to manage the emails:
- set up a great FAQ and put all questions that are asked more than once in there.
- if you use a mac get a copy of TextExpander ( or a similar product) and automate all your email replies. Then you can answer support emails with one command.
- use a Gmail label to sort out support, and batch send emails once or twice a week. Don't be afraid to ignore whiners, complainers and the people who cannot Google answers for themselves.
It actually indicates an area that is not explained currently by science and that some people theorise about in a "non-scientific" or anecdotal way. This has been illustrated many times by herbs used by traditional healers (using anecdotal reasoning) which were ignored by science until the technology existed to test the herbs for medicinal purposes.
Traditional forms of human knowledge ("magic") may not be "scientific" but it does not indicate a lack of understanding. The movement of epistemology from magic to science is a spectrum not a series of hard stops. The world is grey, not black and white.
The last time something akin to a new energy cycle happened on earth was when cyanobacteria produced so much free oxygen it accumulated in the atmosphere [0]. This caused a global extinction event and one of the longest ice ages that the planet has known. So yes, we would need to be very careful playing with non-ATP energy cycles...
Sheesh. A laundry list of issues.
So why use Go at all?
Quit yer whining and just use Haskell or whatever.
Go works for some people, not for others.
Why hang around and complain? Move on, use something else.
