I somehow think that their opinion was a little more nuanced then that.

And fwiw, Rob Pike definitely did make mistakes. Golang is a great language, but it's not perfect.

It really wasn’t more nuanced than that - I’m pretty much quoting verbatim. The argument stemmed from the lack of generics in Go, which apparently was a sign of incompetence.

My general point is that there a lot of people who see the world in binary - genius or idiot, perfect or incompetent.
