This is valid criticism. Go fanbois don't like listening to any go criticism. They were all like who needs templates in go. and now go has templates.

To me go code looks like somebody vomitted stuff in the root dir and i have to wade through that every time. No namespacing. nothing

Ok... The question was why is it like that. The answer is because it's in go. Nobody was anything other than civil before you neckbearded in here. Chill. There's a sane way to say what you said.

I don't like go as a personal preference but reducing them to "fanboys" is a bit reductive. I'm sure the same could be said about your own favorite language.

Is it reductive when its describing a group of people that like something and refusing to hear any ill of it? The comment wasn't shade at people using the language in general.

And you're right, fanboys are in every language. But resorting to changing the argument by whataboutism is a bit reductive.

		I’m not a go fanboy, but I do know from other contexts that so-called “fanboy“ behaviour is frequently associated with level-headed supporters getting defensive in the face of imprecise criticism. There’s an oft-repeated pattern where valid specific criticisms morph into broad criticism, which morphs into judgement, which breeds defensiveness, which feeds the criticism. Once you recognise this pattern, you see it everywhere.
