Rob Pike has talked before[1] on this exact subject, about how all languages are merging into one giant PL-theory sludge where every camp is adding and stealing features from one another, and that one of purposes of Go was to avoid following in this same direction. | ||||||||

Fair enough. I agree with the sentiment that we need diversity in languages. Personally, when I'm solving a problem, I like to reach for the pre-established universally understood pattern that's built into my language. Rather than using a language that doesn't have any of those things and requires me to create my own, worse, implementation that's unique to my program (or use a random 3rd-party module of dubious quality for something basic). | ||||||||
