This post seems to rising from ash. Definitely saw it on HN year ago.

I don't want to say the word "perfect language", but there is no such language that can meet the demands of every nerd on the planet, the goal of the Go programming language is stated clearly, compiling speed overweight the needs for generics, that's why LLVM is not considered for the go compiler.

Also the language is considered feature complete, if one doesn't want to met with "angry pitchforks", do the homework, e.g. the generics topic has been picked up over and over, that it's not funny anymore, if you are interested, the amount of debate online can take days to read.
