Hold on. Instead of saying "some people" you should be more direct in what you mean. You should say, YOU and refer to me directly and have your words be inline with your intentions.
Now that being said. Go looks to me, to indeed be made by someone who doesn't know that a sum type exists. In my link Rob Pike himself admits that he didn't know about structural typing.
Additionally Rob seems to be in general not up to date on type theory. Please follow and read the link above to see what I'm talking about.
Now, that being said. Never EVER did I dismiss Rob Pikes background. He's done great things. Now I will say something exactly in line with my intentions: You have told an utter lie where you accused me of dismissing Rob Pikes reputation. I have done NO such thing.
Additionally one question. What site are you using to run a background check? doesPikeKnowWhatASumTypeIs.com? Sometimes people make mistakes. I admit the possibility that I'm wrong, but limbo is kind of an obscure programming language. It's not easy to given that they use the term discriminated union type rather then the "sum type."
I would argue that although this type is included in limbo, Rob likely didn't use it too much or know about its use case to bring errors into the type system as he could have easily used it in Go. I could be completely wrong here but one thing is not wrong:
>Some people are ridiculously daring at dismissing others's reputations without the most basic of background checks.
Accusatory language like this even disguised with "Some people" and that are additionally utter lies are not an acceptable way to start a discussion.
