LOL, I want to frame this comment. Abso-fucking-lutely stunning.

Thanks for ironically proving my point and demonstrating just how ignorant the criticism was.

I can't get my head around this. I describe a feature, that has long since been ret-conned from the community because it became such a thorn in everyone's side.

And you're just like "nah it probably wasn't that bad even though it was excised and is no longer talked about *and I can't even remember what it was for*" (despite being the exclusive only way to do local dep management). Stun-ning.

What is was "sold as a fix for"? Man, the hubris of people commenting on things literally completely ignorantly.

LOL, really didn't think I'd be gaslit about GOPATH in 2023. Brilliant, keep it up Gophers!

My comment is not related to go, it’s about comments that use negative metaphors or hyperbole when criticizing something without making clear the issue.

Everyone hates, nightmares, dumpster fire, brain dead, useless, everyone knows, ignorant.Are examples.

Say someone writes “Working on Mac/Linux/windows is a nightmare”, ok … what does that convey ?
