I do agree with the author here: Go the language does nothing new. Go the platform, on the other hand, is a really pleasant new experience when compared with other languages.
The language is a regression in features compared to what other languages can do, but that is totally understandable when you look at what Go is aimed at.
Hmm, so some people are bent out of shape because of feature regression and over the fact that Go doesn't have the newest, shiniest gadgets. However, fans keep saying that their overall experience is great. Reminds me of something else...
The newest, shiniest gadgets? Like generics? You're kidding right?
Like putting words into people's mouths as a discussion tactic? You're kidding, right? So it also lacks some not-new "old dependable" gadgets as well. So what? I don't see what point you're making. Did you write that comment just to overlay in indefensible position on me?
As an exercise: Name a language feature Go doesn't have that's newer than generics.
