This kind of dismissive behaviour have been in the Go community since the beginning, unfortunately. It's the product of Rob Pike's behaviour and his rejection of "complexity". But you can't just dismissing complexity by deeming it irrelevant, it's there.

Ian Lance Taylor is probably the only person in the Go team that has a more pragmatic approach to things. The rest is a bunch of deaf people led by the blinds and a few vocal gatekeepers outside Google that will publicly humiliate you if you stray away from the current orthodoxy.
