The post I'm replying to is downvoted and I should probably simply move on but there's key phrasing here I'd like to point out:
> optimized for junior programmers to write babby's first enterprise
This is the (toxic) attitude Go strives to distance itself from. There is no magic, we can all be equals in this place. It's humbling. I'm not aware of any other mainstream project that captures this essence so well.
There is power in a language equalizing things. If you aspire to wring elegance out of complex or esoteric language features then by all means have fun with that but I have no interest in working with you on that. Your definition of pain could not possibly be more diametrically opposed to mine.
I'm tired of people saying that there is no magic. How are you saying that? Do you any basis? Named returns, compiler not ensuring that non pointer receivers do not modify a property, bare bones dependency management, laughable implementation of errors, the list goes on...
> There is no magic, we can all be equals in this place.
...in the Harrison Bergeron sense.
The fact that Rust has attracted relatively inexperienced coders to do bare-metal, real-time programming shows that you don't need to nerf the language in order to appeal to interested developers of all skill levels.
Who said anything about attracting inexperienced developers? If anything I'd argue that's a negative for a healthy ecosystem, and I'd argue it has been a negative for Rust.
It's the junior engineers that most often struggle with trying to devise a way to use every language feature under the sun when solving a problem, not the other way around.
