Personal life
gollark: > As a fellow procrastinator I'm a huge fan of Rob Pike. He half assed a language, basically plagiarised Algol, and somehow got a tech giant and self proclaimed 10X'ers to fall for it hook, line and sinker. There is so much mismatch between the language and its audience that it's just impressive how bad the language is . Some random reddit person talking about go.
