I want to use Go, but whenever I compile a small CLI tool using it and it comes out as a 10 MB executable, I just feel ashamed. Especially when Zig and many other tools can produce the same thing at a few KB.
In my case after hearing one of the main devs of Go (I forgot his name tbh) in an interview saying they'd NEVER implement generics, it just rubbed me the wrong way.
The other thing is, despite having touched Go since its early days (late 2000s) I don't have enough real world experience with it. I'm too self-critical to ever apply for jobs I don't feel confident in. So until someone just offers me work with it I probably wont use it as much as I could.
On the other hand, they did implement generics - indicating a willingness to listen to community feedback and change their position. Isn't that what you want in project leadership?
