gollark: For "fast stupider web-y Python" Go somewhat works, but I don't think it's generally very good.

gollark: I think languages which do are generally better than ones which don't.

gollark: Yes. However, having a language which actually ALLOWS YOU TO WRITE THAT as a generalized thing would be better without compromising elegance with weird special cases like Go also does.

gollark: Parallel iterators would make that code clearer, actually simpler (not Go-"simpler") and less error-prone.

gollark: I don't think the way Go encourages you to write code is very good.
