(I'm going to ignore the personal attack and insult)

> If you want to talk figuratively, making mistakes does not constitute having your "head up your ass." Even making multiple mistakes doesn't warrant that kind of statement.

Making deliberate mistakes multiple times and resisting fixing them for 10 years does qualify as having their "head up their ass" (or asses if that's what you prefer).

> Generics are slower, that's the trade-off. Developer time vs. execution time.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

> Saying Go has it's head up it's ass is extremely disrespectful to the people that created it and are maintaining it. You lost all credibility when you chose the low road and said that.

No it's not disrespectful, it is entirely true. Do consider the origins of Go, where it all started as an experiment in combining bad decisions into a single programming language to see what would happen. What those very people didn't realize upon releasing it to the world is the sheer amount of people who fell for it, it was supposed to be a joke, with a stupid looking mascot and all... Now they have to take it seriously - and Google has to choose between keeping it alive or getting a forever bad rep for killing it - because too many companies rely on it, and they are forced to retrofit useful features on top of the giant pile of garbage they've created.

> Just like C had to add things like arrays to the Turing machine?

Care to elaborate on that?
