Seems to me the replies made to the "fake" problems are very telling about what is a problem.

For example, Go is praised for being a simple language that everyone can learn quickly, yet when someone shows what they picked up "that isn't how you do it."

I get that it is one thing to get something done, and another to learn an idiomatic approach. But when the sort package is hailed as the example for both why Go doesn't need generics and Go does need generics, I think it is safe to say that even the language creators don't know how to use Go.
