I was surprised to find this sentiment about Go. I always felt Go focused on simplicity, modularity, good tooling and even good integration with C. Those are qualities that seem UNIX-affirmative to me.

Where does De Raadt's opinion come from? Could it be referring to Rob Pike's blasphemic Plan 9 adventure or is it just a provocative rambling about a certain ioctl-incident?

Weird to put Ken Thompson down as in the Unix haters club.
