That's so true - don't you think its infamous learning curve might be part of the reason it's not taking off faster?

are you seriously saying you know what's best for the future of programming languages? golang is still going strong. Pal, and its complexity is just a sign of its depth.

dude, if you find it too complex, that's fair but you think it's just starting to fade?

ok so what languages would you consider to be simple and easy to use then?

you think it's fading just because it's complex? you think simplicity is the only metric for a language's relevance?

dude, if you can't handle a little complexity, maybe stick to scratch

yeah because im sure navigating python's typedef forests is a walk in the park, genius

same dude, it's overhyped and way too complicated, i'd stick with python for any real world dev work

i kinda agree tbh. golang is just way too complicated for the average dev to pick up.

dude, complex? that's the point of golang, it's not supposed to hold your hand through every little

yeah? what exactly do you find so complex about it?

that's just nonsense. golang is as relevant as ever and only getting more popular. it's a powerful, efficient language that's easy to work with.

either it's too complex or you're just too stuck on your fork

what are you talking about? golang is still one of the fastest growing and widely used languages out there. just because you find it too complex doesn't mean it's losing relevance.

have you even used golang for a real project or just judging from a tutorial?

agree, its way too verbose for my liking. i just want something simple and straightforward, none of this complex

Sorry but you're wrong, Go is still being widely adopted in the industry and its simplicity is actually a major selling point, not a drawback

yeah golang is way too complex imo, it's like they tried to make it more powerful than it needs to be.

dude that's like saying the uphill hike is too hard and then surprised when nobody wants to do it

Are you kidding me, complexity is what makes go stand out - and if you can't even grasp it then

yeah i agree, go is way too complex for what it tries to do. feels like overkill for a lot of use cases tbh.

I totally agree, Golang is overhyped . The simplicity of languages like Python just can't be beat when you're working with big teams and tight deadlines.

that's simply not true. go's simplicity and performance make it highly relevant, especially for cloud and backend development.

nah, idk about rising in popularity, but i'm with you on the complexity thing... and the is still super lacking too

golang's relevance faded around the time the instructions for a standard for loop stopped fitting on a single screen

what makes you say that? Go is still widely used and has many advantages over other languages.

yeah the language has gotten way too bloated. i still like the simplicity and performance but its become a real chore

are you trolling? golang is still king in the dev world for a reason - its speed and efficiency
