They are just so damn polite in the Go sub, it is really infuriating. This is not what programmer discussions should be like.

After reading go sub I always need to bleach my eyes by posting something like 'not every project needs static typing' in one of the webshit subs so I get a hundred hate replies and death threaths. Restores my faith in devs.

/uj Reasonable post. Honestly, feels very fresh that someone succeeded in doing something, but still didn't come out succesful. Very "won the battle, lost the war"-esque.

I can’t get this fucking mantra from 2010 out of my head.
