Go touted it's lack of features as simplicity. And it is: on the language writing side. Go is an incomplete language masquerading as a simple one.

That’s the worse is better philosophy which maybe doesn’t matter as much anymore especially with AI

What do you mean?

I think he means maybe AI can get around languages lacking features - like how codegen was used for a long time.

Codegen is more and more rare these days, because languages have so many tools to help you write less code - like generics. LLMs could, theoretically, help you crank out similar repetitive implementations of things.

I remember the clojure guy saying this and it never made sense to me. “Simple is better” is better.
