I had different opinion than guy who joined the Go team in 2019 (Ian Lance Taylor). I was banned from their github repo, my AdSense sites were removed from Google's index, my AdSense CPC dropped by 2/3. My github account was "flagged" aka disabled from being seen in public. I was on github for 7 years. I received nonsensical "not in accordance to policies" messages from AdSense all of a sudden when that happened aka…

I've not had a good experience with them either. I was contributed a bug fix to the std lib which would've been a decent feather in my cap. Not even a thanks; some maintainer copied, pasted, made a few changes, merged "his" fix. 2014 iirc; extinguished my interest.
Any commits we can refer to, so we can expose this situation for potential contributors?

I just want to note one thing: any large community will have aspect (sometimes many) that many people will not like. That's not personal, it's just statistics. And when someone (Go team, Stack overflow a few years back, ...) appears heavy-handed, try to imagine to herd hundred-thousand creative, intelligent spirits - that's an impossible task. If you complain about the font (and others did, too) than either ask yourself, whether the stress of conflict is worth it - or leave the matter - or the community - for good.
The template declaration and invocation hierarchy seems unnecessarily complex and is almost 100% undocumented. It just hurts my brain and doesn't make any sense to me in comparison to jinja, whatever jekyll uses, etc.
It has very very poor documentation. Some docstrings are not a replacement for actual documentation when your approach is that unorthodox.
And it doesn't produce any error messages or warnings when you do something wrong - just renders a completely blank template.
EDIT: to be clear, my beef is with the template hierarchy, poor docs, and lack of errors/warnings, not with the general capabilities of the library, which are quite complete.

I'm pretty sure that Ian has been part of the Go team since before the public release in 2009. He's the most patient person I have ever seen in my entire life.
edit: He joined mid 2008 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqKOY_pH8u0&t=1m19s

I have really been enjoying Go, except for the built-in templating library. It's a wart on the standard library IMO. The template declaration and invocation hierarchy seems unnecessarily complex and is almost 100% undocumented.

Generics Update: "We will be working on that throughout 2021, with a goal of having something for people to try out by the end of the year, perhaps a part of the Go 1.18 betas."
