What disappoints me upon seeing your comment is that someone chose to write nearly 400 words to complain about how irritating the parent's one-question was without answering the said question in the slightest.
> of course it’s possible, the same way that it’s possible that everyone who says my cooking is terrible just has bad taste and doesn’t understand good cuisine.
I could’ve answered anecdotally about my experience with Java, thus proving or at least claiming at least one person has earnestly used Java and still likes Go. I have no idea what value that could bring to this discussion. Does anyone actually believe there is a possibility that not even a small amount of users of Go, the ~14th most popular language according to TIOBE, have not used in earnest the ~2nd most popular language according to TIOBE?
I dislike the question. I repeat my own question and now ask you to answer it:
> Imagine you’re a beginner who is learning Go as a first programming language and they read your message. What message is it really sending?
>I could’ve answered anecdotally about my experience with Java, thus proving or at least claiming at least one person has earnestly used Java and still likes Go. I have no idea what value that could bring to this discussion.
The value would be highlighting the upsides of using Go for people who're comfortable with Java, in spite of the disadvantages mentioned in the parent comment.
That information is valuable to people considering picking up their Nth language.
What value does the comment that you ended up writing add to the discussion?
