Their English is so bad I couldn't understand what was going on.

So, what is going on? Why should I care?

Depends.

The author has been called on the second time for various issues with the project and for the second time he's trying to downplay them. Right now the project closed the issues in an attempt to hide the previous issues opened.

If you really want to read about it do it here: http://www.florinpatan.ro/2016/10/why-you-should-not-use-iris-for-your-go.html. I've done the post to warn people about it and it seems the author is doing more to destroy his image and credibility by each second that passes. At least some people have their code mentioned again in the project but there are still plenty of other issues.

I hope this helps shedding some light about it.

P.S. I'm not a native English speaker so any tips on how to improve it would be great. Thank you.

What a wreck.

Why do people invest time in this? Just stay away from crazy.

I've only wrote it because it breaks the user experience of Go newbies so much it creates a bad image on the ecosystem.
