I've been getting a ton of enjoyment out of reading the blogs of anti-genAI people like David Gerard, Ed Zitron, Nikhil Suresh and Gary Marcus recently.

But I also feel like it is turning me into a very pessimistic, spiteful person, and while these feelings are warranted, I'm not sure this is healthy.

Go has so many strange design choices

Public and private fields of structs are differentiated via capitalization. You cannot have a private field starting with a capital letter. Not a huge problem, but it's unintuitive and seems like it would frequently cause issues

It also doesn't have enums, but then it has the iota counter-helper which is extremely niche.

I wish strings had useful functions as methods rather than package functions. No one wants to call strings.Contains(myString, myPattern)
