		HelloNurse on Dec 9, 2015 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Why Go Is Not Good (2014) I don't care about fast web servers if a language doesn't have a decent design (rather than tolerable hacks and bolted-on libraries) for records, arrays, hierarchical namespaces, mutable data structures, strings, exception handling, compile-time dependencies, the standard library in general, system calls, etc.

Personally, I would say that immutable data structures and pure functional programming ARE a decent design; especially in web programming.
