That might be how you “feel” but it doesn’t reflect the facts. The go community has been incredibly welcoming, the process for introducing new features in go is fully transparent and in the open.

If you link to the reddit post we could all see what he actually said. Go is a very opinionated language for sure. Every language will be inundated with people who want their pet feature to be implemented in it and will hate on it otherwise. I am happy that the language development is not directed by such kinds of folks.
