Been a golang dev for a long time, although got out of it recently (I got very tired of it). Many contributions to k8s in the early days, etc.

Thing I find the most frustrating about golang is the community. It almost seems to be made of people who never used another programming language in their life. Defense of things like lack of generics, lack of a good collections library, lack of good error handling, lack of good dependency management, etc. It's so bizarre to me.

As a former Java dev, we all at least admitted the flaws of the language and came up with ways to deal with it (see Effective Java).
