> The same properties of the language which helped Google have helped me

To be fair, I don't think anything I wrote contradicts that. If your goals align with Google's, great.



Then why couple those goals to Google instead of ascribing them to a broader philosophy that Google happens to be adopting (among many others)?

Your original comment read like you were salty that Go didn't adopt ideas that enhanced yours and others productivity. Instead of writing it off as a philosophical difference (that can be attributed to any language with philosophical ideals), you have to take it to the next level with some kind of "Go devs only care about Google's needs" conspiracy. I've seen this kind of thing a lot over the years. Why can't people just agree to disagree?


Because the entire governance board of golang is Google employees, and if your use case is different than there's they become outright hostile?


You'll have to back that up. Unless you interpret every rejection of an idea as hostility.


I think it’s more “the rejection of every idea”.


Maybe those goals are more mainstream than you think (such thoughts don't lead to top comments, however).
