It's not like there are alternatives. Don't even mention Golang - it's a piece of dried up crap with arbitrary limitations (error handling from the 90ties, no ability to implement datastructures with native api, no operator overloading). Might as well use Pascal ...
It seems to me that just few bratty library developers (shamed by their users into fixing their shit to support Python 3) are the main detractors.
Now start downvoting ... cause we all love Armin and his unconstructive bitching.
As an aside: I'm not sure why Golang is getting the hate here. Sounds like you've never needed to write systems software. Golang is great for that. It's not shorter; but not much longer, either. It does a number of things very, very right. I suspect just nothing that you have ever needed to do, though.
Complaining Go doesn't have operator overloading is like complaining Python doesn't have type annotations--it isn't written for a use case where they're particularly useful.
