Why HN links it
Linked for posts on an obfuscated Hello World in Python and on a year spent with Go. Commenters cite them in threads on the Nuitka compiler and on Go, and none judges the writing itself.

C and Rust are systems langauges, Go is not particlarly great in that category. That is okay. I will say, I hope you have fun getting an average CS graduate to properly write and maintain a Haskell or Erlang program with concurrency. Go is s…
