Grabcocque is not advocating for anything, but attacking the article and go enthusiasts. There is no criticism to Go as a language presented, only criticism of those that claim to be productive in it.
In fact in its original form the comment contained only the link to the blub article and nothing else. This isn't enlightened discourse, this is a knee-jerk reaction :)
I just found it problematic that aaron-lebo was specifically and snidely attacking a user's personality, whereas grabcocque was attacking an article author.
At this juncture the conversation had shifted from Go to a question of conduct.
I've edited the comment and see that this discussion is not productive, but to defend myself, I see no difference between a simplistic "this is blub" response and "attacking a user's personality".
The discussion had nothing to do with the article which is why I responded the way I did.
