Those two points aren’t mutually inclusive.

Go is productive in specific ways. Other languages are productive in other specific ways. That’s why we have different programming languages solving different problems.

So if someone says they like Go because they’re productive in it that doesn’t mean all other languages are shit. That only means Go solves the specific kind of problems they need solving.

This is why I hate languages flame wars and why commenters like the GP exasperate me. They have different problems they need solving and talk about programming languages like there is a one size fits all. That’s not the case.
