gollark: Also, the implicit interfaces are terrible.
gollark: - lacking in generics - you have to use `interface{}`- public/private visibility is controlled by *capitalization* of all things- weird bodgey specialcasing instead of good generalizable solutions- you literally cannot express a `max` function which returns the largest of two of any type of number in a well-typed way
gollark: Go's syntax is kind of nicer but its awful type system (yes, worse than an untyped language's) is... not good.
