If this area is going to be marked off, then I would appreciate my mod points being restored as well. If you look at my original response, it was pointing out the fallacy in a very particular claim (and nothing resembling a 'flame war').

You got downvoted (presumably; I don't have such powers) because you took this off-topic (Go's type system has nothing to do with what version control system is used for its development). What's the point of HN karma if you can get those points back?
