The reaction in the Go community to this article has been
exactly as
one would have anticipated. I paraphrase the common theme thus:
Go is
successful in the market, D isn't, therefore Go is a better
language
than D. Go does indeed have much greater market penetration,
but I
leave it as an exercise for the reader to deduce the sophistry,
and
indeed casuistry, in most of the argumentation.
By this standard, Go is much worse than C++, Java, or even C,
which they pretend to be a better version of.
