I see no reason to take you your opinion any more seriously than anyone else's. You're entitled to it; that doesn't mean you are right. > They have produced a language, yes. > They have not produced a worthwhile build system You are conflating bootstrapping the language with the language's build system. The go command is actually quite nice. The use of bash in Go is tiny. Why fixate on it when you could go build something useful, instead? > or development community. Evidence suggests otherwise. Anyway, I have neither the time nor the inclination to get into a pissing match with some random person on the Internet about Go's use of bash. If it's such a serious problem for you, well, I hope you figure out a way to work around it. If not, then I don't know what to tell you. In either case, good luck! - Dan C.
