Rust's IRC channel is amazing - supportive, thoughtful, and non-condescending. This is in sharp contrast to the Go one, which is an absolute cesspit.

I remember enjoying Go's IRC room early on, but it has gotten …more difficult. I fear this is inevitable and will happen to Rust, but it hasn't yet, which is an extremely pleasant surprise.

Thankfully (but still unfortunately), the Go community Slack does a great job of replacing the IRC channel with more civilized/productive discussion.

The IRC channel, like many, is often not a friendly place.

If this is the case, I think Go people should remove IRC and add Slack from this page: https://golang.org/help/

No! No more slack!

* Rocketchat * Gitter * Let's Chat https://github.com/sdelements/lets-chat * Baloons https://github.com/rickyrauch/Balloons.IO * Friends https://github.com/moose-team/friends * Chats https://github.com/acani/Chats * HackChat https://github.com/AndrewBelt/hack.chat * Jabbr https://github.com/JabbR/JabbR * qTox https://github.com/tux3/qTox * TorChat https://github.com/prof7bit/TorChat

I bet that they can be just as friendly using an open source application on golang-based kubernetes clusters.
