Remember "Node.js is cancer"? Remember how the Node.js fanboys would bully programmers on social media who critiqued it? At no point have I seen Go programmers hype up the language and attack others.

I sincerely hope the "brogrammers" and "hackers" who beat their chest about Rails and Node.js and whatever framework was/is flavor of the day, do not start using Go.

They will be a negative force in the community and it will be sickening to see them pump up the hype and declare themselves as champions of Go.

Perhaps not "attack", but Go advocates tend to be very defensive about any criticism.

Seriously, say something critical about Go on HN and you better have some karma built up or it's instant hellban.

I remember when everyone was annoyed at Go stuff getting posted on hackernews. /hipster

Can the same not be said for, say, Haskell?
