People like to argue what language is better, saner, safer, etc. The problem with these arguments is it all boils down to what the programmer does with it.

I said before, languages are our tools. A shoddy carpenter can build a rickety house even with the best tools.

Golang has been introduced as a rather nice language, with many people agreeing that it's solid. That said, Golang still does not prevent evil, ugly code.

Like most of the community members say: blame the user. The code is fucking messy. A language cant write clean code by itself, it can format it though.

@rookiemaverick Messy WTF was my intent.

@xorith the code is neither clean nor had used the power of the golang

@rookiemaverick That was the entire point of the code and my rant.

I know how to write proper golang. :)

The point being that even a rather beloved language such as Golang can be bastardized.

@xorith totally agree. Personally I have never seen a language like go. I love c and assembly. And go has just given me the power I needed. Btw do you know you can even develop mobile app in go?

@rookiemaverick I honestly hadn't looked into mobile apps in Golang. My area has been mostly server-side daemons and an inherited go-based web app.

It's become one of my favorite languages. I've had people wonder how I took to it so well given that my most used language to date would be Java, but I think it has to do with my C/C++ background.

Still, I don't like to complain about languages really, since most do allow for 'proper' ways of doing things. This was just a reverse perspective. :)
