For those that were interested in the openSUSE logo contest, the voting wrapped up on Tuesday and the results of this logo contest for new openSUSE branding have been selected.
And it doesn’t even give you a stack trace to debug the problem when an error happens, apparently.
Second reason - it lacks many features that are generally available in most other languages. Generics is the big one, but thankfully they added them in last half a year or so. In general Golang’s design principle is to implement only the required minimum.
And probably most important - Go is owned by Google, aka the “all seeing eye of Sauron”. There was recently a big controversy with them proposing adding an on-by-default telemetry to the compiler. And with the recent trend of enshittification, I wouldn’t trust google or any other mega-corporation.
Yeah the “owned by google” thing is a big turn-off. And telemetry… he’ll no. Also it’s weird that Go doesn’t have a ternary. It’s a small thing, but it’s a thing.
I think that one is the only logo with any soul to it. The rest are so flat! I like the old opensuse logo, but I get that it doesn’t fit with the rest.
The main logo choice is fine, no complaints there, but the choices for the others just seem so disjointed from each other (not to mention they basically just chose the old Leap logo again, but in yellow). I really liked the idea of having some sort of unifying design element across the logos to indicate they are all OpenSUSE products. There were some decent concepts with that idea floating around.
