Exactly. Thanks for reiterating.

What's a Go fan? Someone who thinks that Go blows? That is as bizarre as becoming enamoured by a language. What leads one to have feelings about a language anyway? It is an impossible to understand concept for me.

In what world are patterns from the 1960s "modern"? Do you consider selt belts in cars to also be a modern feature?

Responding to an argument by not only pretending not to have an opinion, but pretending not to understand the concept of having an opinion, is a very interesting rhetorical strategy. Not sure it works
