Awards
gollark: Channels are actually quite hard to use nicely, and what is often better is "parallel iterators" or something; but Go *literally will not let you write that* with correct types.
gollark: Go makes it "easy" to be concurrent, except not really because goroutines and everything it has make introducing concurrency bugs really easy.
gollark: Despite Go's ill-deserved reputation for performance.
gollark: Funnily enough, Java is actually faster than Go sometimes.
gollark: I haven't heard of it.
