So a hand-wavy "look at the world bro" instead of actual metrics. Got it.

No you're not. You say Go (or a part of Go) is bad, which is vastly different. If you stuck to "I don't like it", you would not have gotten so much push back, but you insist in being right and everyone else is stupid and wrong.

Because metrics don’t exist. If the only way you can move forward and know something is because someone conducted some sort of statistical experiment with data analysis on it then I don’t even know how you get up in the morning. Do you need science to prove that when you jump off the bed there’s a floor that your feet will land on?

No you don’t. You’re not an idiot. It’s common sense that allows you to do this and it’s common sense that will allow you to see that the entire world works the way I said it does above. You don’t need science for this. At least most people don’t. Maybe you’re different and you need science to do an analysis for you before you open any door to make sure reality still exists behind it.

You’re right. Let me rephrase what I meant. I’m commenting about what is fundamentally terrible about golang and if you disagree then you're wrong because the overwhelming majority of the world would disagree.
