All y'all saying "oh it'll probably only take you a week to learn Golang, it's not that much of a time-sink" are clearly not accounting for the time I'll then spend fixing bugs in the Go apps I am using (rather than just filing issues against them)!

Learn golang, people told me. It'll be easy, they said.

@mattcen these people lied to you (I think the "golang is easy" idea only happened because Rust is around to compare it with)
