1. God save us from “intelligent” programmers (or those who *think* they’re intelligent based on some very subjective criteria of what makes someone intelligent). If I could never spend another hour looking at obfuscated C++ macro and template meta-programming hell built by self-professed “geniuses”, I’d die a happy man.

3. Go wasn’t created by stupid people and it’s not used by stupid people. But it’s used, a lot, and more and more, to create real solutions for real people on real projects. Why wasn’t Docker written in D? Those Docker people sure must be very unintelligent in your eyes. Spotify? They will surely fail for using Go as well, instead of D. Kubenetes? A non-starter, obviously, very unintelligent project. Also not in D.

5. And Google? That has-been company has at most a year left before it collapses under the weight of all the projects that were internally written in Go. If only they were smart enough to use D!

7. Go is becoming a success. And I think ultimately, you *hate* that. You want it to fail. Its very existence is an affront to everything you hold dear. If Go were to become a success, it would somehow invalidate all your past successes and efforts.

9. Too bad. Go is coming. Rust is coming. Node JS is coming. More and more start-ups are picking them up (and not looking back), more and more projects are using these languages. D tried. It did. A noble effort. But ultimately, in the long term, it’s not going anywhere.

11. And that’s the real cause of your pain, isn’t it? That people are picking Go (and soon Rust) over D.
