I was at the GoSF meetup. It was great seeing Rob talk and I think many of you are taking this blog post a bit out of context. The gist of his talk was about the philosophy and history behind creating Go.

For me the talk made me more convinced to switch over to Go. I'm a believer that makings things simple is a lot hard than making things complex and I really appreciate the deliberate approach of the Go team regarding adding features. I really hope they stay true to Rob's philosophy of less is more for years to come.
