> The language is called Go. The "golang" moniker arose because the web site was originally golang.org. (There was no .dev domain then.) Many use the golang name, though, and it is handy as a label. For instance, the Twitter tag for the language is "#golang". The language's name is just plain Go, regardless.
1. Nobody is entitled to venture capitalist funding. It is not an oddly named and run social works program.
2. VC funding is not a home run. It is not free money. If the only way you can launch a tech business is venture funding with the hope of hitting it out of the park before the funds’ cliff, perhaps consider if the return justifies the effort.
I wonder how many people would like a block button.
I work at a large company with thousands of people on Slack. It is effectively unmoderated social media.
And if anyone thinks that HR are the moderators, well the buck stops with them but no HR team has the time, resources, or training to moderate a Slack workspace(s) in that way.
> At some level, the only way to get answers to these kinds of questions is to have the tool report data about how a tool is used to the maintainers of that tool.
This is frankly bullshit. Before always online telemetry there were there things called user groups, special interest groups, submissions, committees, etc.
You don’t need to surveil Go users to understand how they use the tooling, they’ll tell you, if you didn’t create an ivory tower around those who work (or have worked) for Google, and those who clearly aren’t worthy.
The fact this proposal is dead in the ground is an example that just because you could write a program to do a thing, one doesn’t need to write a program to do a thing.
