How exemplary that he filled in the full template questionnaire for language changes, including questions such as "Would you consider yourself a novice, intermediate, or experienced Go programmer?" (he replied "I have some experience").

I found it more amusing that he listed 8 languages that he has experience with and then went out of his way to exclude JavaScript.

Not sure why, but something about this being the (first part of the) last question he had to answer makes it quite funny to me.

Please don't use HN comments for posting low-quality jokes, even if (perhaps "especially if") they're considered acceptable/appropriate for other communities.
