No I am not, I am no longer programming in the mid-90's and even on those days, Turbo Pascal had more features than Go.

I only advocate Go as a replacement for those that would use C for user space applications, or possibly some kind of low level stuff.

If Python and Ruby eco-systems had blessed compilers, instead of just CPython and MRI, I doubt people would be flocking to Go.

We already see this happening in the Ruby world, just let Crystal become a bit more mature.
