I am super happy that I invested in Go. I ended up working on TURN, WebRTC and DTLS and feel I made the right choice. The impact vs time spent was worth it. I don't think there is any other language I would have had a better experience. Either it is too niche, or it is so popular that the community is anemic.

Go is really great as a 'teaching language'. I have seen lots of software pop up that was inspired by reading the Pion code. I think that is great, it is much harder to read and learn from other languages. Also really great for contributions. I get so many people making their first Open Source commit. The languages simplicitly really makes it easy.

The most frustrating thing about Go isn't even the language, it is the community for me. It is very business/corporate focused. Everything is all about Kubernetes/cloud. I apply for conferences/meetups non-stop, but never have any luck. It is always the same company reps. I am envious of the Rust community here, but maybe grass is always greener on the other side?

Ian Lance Taylor has been nothing but tirelessly patient and helpful when interacting with the community from what I've seen. This story doesn't pass muster without more details, least of all because you seem to think Ian joined Go in 2019.

He seems to be this honest and stable user: https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/gzvf70/comment/ftim...

Downvoting the way I prioritise my time? Good lord.

It's more likely to be downvoting an unsubstantiated allegation of plagiarism which, in the circumstances, could easily be argued with public evidence.

You seem more uptight about it than I am. I didn't see it as anything so formal as "plagiarism", I just thought it was rude and ungrateful. If digging up work from 2014 is easy, you must be more organised than I am.

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…

Was that you? https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/gzvf70/go_developer...

Thankfully Reddit removed the post for my own safety. I hate seeing both sides of a conversation.

The [Removed] usually means the moderators removed the post, not Reddit itself.

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."

Next on the list: error handling. Which is absolutely not a problem, and works very very very well as is. Then again, one can hope that maybe by 2025 :)

It seems highly unlikely that the Go team would, or even has an escalation path to, ban you from AdSense because they disagreed with you about something in their issue tracker.

I worry that you might have a pattern of behavior that results in consistent negative outcomes -- being banned from their Github repo, being hidden on Github, being downvoted on HN, being removed from AdSense, etc. It is unlikely that there is some central cabal that sits around trying to ruin your life; nobody in real life is that coordinated. It is more likely that all these organizations are coming to the same conclusion after interacting with you. You should explore the one common element that is an active participant in all these stories -- you.

I implemented a few services in Go like 5 years ago and they still work. I think some have uptime of 2 years or more. I love that once you get good test coverage, Go programs are extremely stable. I still prefer to do things in Python, but if I need extra stability I go with Go.
