@mckinley@twtxt.net Thankfully less so in Go, because of the culture around the language, but I used to feel this way about Python too once upon a time, I feel like languages and ecosystems get “populated” with ideas from every other language/ecosystem over time and eventually reach a state of “chaos”? 🤔 As an example, Go now supports generics as of Go 1.19, something I’m not really all that thrilled with really as it adds unnecessary complexity to the language IMO that isn’t really needed.
