Am I the only one who thinks this? The old site golang.org had a simple and elegant design and appearance. It presented just most important information and essentials; the front page was small and straight to the point, and the navigation and site as a whole emphasized information and tools to get real work done. It was like the site embodied the principles and values of the Go language itself: simple, practical, and efficient; no bullshit. A site for programming professionals designed by programming professionals.
Contrast with the new site go.dev: emphasizing and cluttered with sales pitch and persuasion tactics (as if Google's own successful usage and support for Go wasn't already enough to sell most people) and auxiliary information not directly relevant or helpful to the programming task at hand. The site looks and feels like it was designed by a third-party freelancer who just took a generic business template and added the color blue (the color of Go's logo). It displays no unique personality nor does it reflect the qualities of the Go language itself, unlike the old site. Sloppy margins and typography and obfuscated with auxiliary content, it seems no careful thought or subtlety has been given to its design or presentation. I can't think of one thing I like about the new site compared to the old one, and would like to see the old site make a comeback. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
