alt Hacker NewsWell, that "Go crap" needs some explanation. The reason I am not involved in JS is because I mostly use Go for backend, and I am happy I have no relation with frontend at all. And even that is just small part of my job and what I do daily (Radius, Diameter, etc.). But, I never heard about Go crap (in that context maybe), or experienced any crap there, it is just nice and simple. What are the issues?
Many of the "rewrite it in Rust/Go/whatever fad" projects that have cropped up have been done with the assistance of AI, especially because both languages are a pretty heavy divergence if you're used to C, C++, Java or JavaScript.
And when you can't manage to coordinate with an ecosystem dependency as large as webpack before the migration to make sure nothing breaks... my suspicion is utter incompetence and gross misuse of AI.
