And, apparently, a few people are now pissed that every post isn't about Node.js or Ruby anymore, because I have come across a small group of people that come into every Go thread and spread the same FUD about garbage collection, performance, maturity, and generics.

Means it has hit a level of success then, remember when every thread about Ruby would degenerate into "YEAH! But RoR doesn't SCALE! HAH!"? Level of snark seems proportional to the level of success a language is enjoying.

I must admit, I've not tried Go yet and I'm not overly sold on some of the syntax aspects but it's nice to see a new language doing well against established players.
