This is what happens when marketing gets a whiff that you have something whimsical in your programming language:
@craigmaloney people who use Go are as much sharecroppers prospering at the whims of platform overlords as people writing iPhone apps.
@stevelord I'm sure you could level that complaint at any corporate-driven language, like Java, C# / F#, etc.
@craigmaloney yes I'd say thats equally valid, perhaps slightly less so for java depending upon circumstance
@craigmaloney but..but the gopher was cute! Am I not allowed to have cute things in my life, anymore?
@craigmaloney a lot of people are disappointed/mad about this.
Just another wtf-google moment, don't sweat it.
