Can you cite some overwhelmingly negative comments that pcwalton has made towards Go? I always cringe whenever I see him comment in a Go-related thread, because I know how people will interpret any criticism of Go that comes directly from a Rust dev, whether or not the criticism itself mentions Rust. That said, pcwalton has seemed even-keeled every time that I've seen him comment.
I ask because I'm the moderator of the Rust subreddit, and I have a strict rule against bashing other languages there. Not even Rust devs are exempt, though thankfully this has never been a problem. I'd like to encourage a culture of respect, rather than letting us get bogged down in holy wars. The constant comparisons of Go and Rust that I see on HN and the like are quite dismaying in my eyes.
I'd rather just drop this. I don't see any point in escalating the discussion when we're all on the same page regarding relations between the two projects.
Sharing my thoughts on language design as it relates to other languages seems to be doing more harm than good, so I'll stop.
