I picked Go for the language, so your argument is incorrect.

Go’s shortcoming is also its strength. Language design is a constant battle of tradeoffs. And I happen to find many of the decisions C++ and Rust made weren’t analogous with my preferences.

> It’s still Go’s fault and people rightfully argue that they should prefer a different language.

It’s no more Gos fault than it is the people using Go. It’s called an “opinion” and “preference”. Please don’t assuming your preference is some global truth, because it is not.
