I agree and dislike the language immensely. Some colleagues of mine like it for the runtime and compile time, which I guess is fine, but my beef with them is that they mistake motion for action.

They consider themselves "productive" because in go "...the code just flies from my fingers...", when what they're doing is reimplementing the same things over and over because the language doesn't support it.

HAVING to type a lot of stuff, even if it's easy to type, isn't productive. It's just a lot of typing.
