First, I find the introduction to this condescending; it amounts to "the Go developers know what they're doing, stop questioning them plebians!" It is phrased more politely, but the content is basically there. This is:
1. Insulting to those of us who also have put serious thought into the problem, and perhaps also have knowledge and experience in this area of programming language design. 2. Largely missing the point of the draft designs, which were meant as a starting point for discussion; the Go developers were explicitly soliciting feedback. 3. Ignores the fact that most of us have been raising specific critiques of the design. While our criticisms are based on substance, you dismiss them entirely without providing a justification other than "Ian and Robert know what they're doing." Second, I agree with Tristan that Eric's sibling comment is a bit sharp; let's be careful to keep this civil, as it's clear that some of us are feeling a bit tense. Ultimately however I agree with Eric that the proposal focuses on relatively superficial issues. That said I do like the idea of using [type T]; while my own focus has been on semantics, like many I agree the existing syntax is not very ergonomic.
