This sort of attitude is never going to win over people that you are talking about. I hate to bring politics into things, but it's like calling all Trump supporters hopeless and backwards. Yeah maybe they are, but they're going to react to that by never listening to anything you say again, so even though it's true, it's not helpful.

The 'state of the art' is increasing, over-the-top complexity to a truly ridiculous level. Go programmers don't want to open up the documentation for a library and see this:

or look at the language reference and see this:

and I don't blame them.
