   @mawhrin @davidgerard Personally Go was never my taste in language...

   They advertised themselves on their elegant design, but they don't strike me as anything special there. And they have some of the same footguns as C.

     @alcinnz: I recall seeing jokes that Go was ALGOL 68+41.

     Adrian Cochrane repeated this.

     @alcinnz @mawhrin @davidgerard It was kind of nice right before they decided to make it look more like C++17.

     @raktheundead @alcinnz At least Algol 68 had proper error handling. Go is in many ways a step backwards.
