With all the discussions of ageism and sexism in tech, classifing a significant contribution to the industry as the result of "old man rage" is inappropriate IMHO
You might not agree with the design decisions, but to say one of the most successful contemporary systems programming languages was born out "old man rage" is insulting
I don't agree with the snarky tone of this comment. I'm not a Go programmer, but I've seen many concepts touted as "progress" over the past 20 years which have been dead ends.
I think it is reasonable for designers to curate advances to address the problems they are trying to solve.
