This would be fine in an ideal world. However, the one we live in has crawlers that don't care how many resources they use. They're fine with taking the server down or bankrupting the owner as long as they get the data they want.
> Go _is_ something of a sharp tool. Maybe we need to put a warning on it: for mature audiences only
This has been said for other languages, and it turns out no one is mature enough to consistently make it work without issues. The world has moved on; we can have proper tools that won't shoot your leg off.
Why risk misusing the sharp tool when you can just use something safe to accomplish the same thing?
Indeed. Elixir for most things (as it steps on Erlang's excellent runtime and has hygienic macros and an an amazing ecosystem), and when performance and system footprint really matters, get out the big guns -- Rust.
I quickly fell in love with Golang... and quickly fell out of love with it as well. It's a language that is super easy to love but it just does not seem to be suited for big codebases at all.
The whole idea is that we need a definition that everyone agrees With. The OSD is what the software community at large agreed, so any licences that claim to be open-source are compared to that.
Is it because, as the leader of a language, he shouldn't be making "attacks" against other languages? Because, as far as V being a fraud, he was 100% correct.

Actually, yes. Not only from the angle of common decency or adhering to a code of conduct, but as a matter of professionalism and setting the example for followers.

That is a provably false claim from competitors, who should not be engaging in such activity.
Paying supporters[1][2][3] (ylluminate, gompertz, etc...) of the V language have even gone on record at HN, to clearly state such competitor or evangelist claims are false, and that they are happy with the language.
Not only can such competitor generated claims be seen as false, through direct V supporter refutation, but by the visible progress of the project as a whole. Over the years, the V language repo continually amasses thousands of stars and hundreds of contributors, that can be plainly seen on GitHub. It is a significantly large and successful project. To pretend or argue otherwise, is very disingenuous. People are there, because they like using Vlang[4].
