It became a symbol for the entire C# coding attitude/worldview/paradigm at the time. I lost it with EF because it just didn't do what it said it did, and all the documentation lied about what it was actually doing. It became the straw that broke the camel's back, the poster child for everything that was wrong with .Net and C# (at the time - I gather things have got better since).

Go became the antidote, the "way things should be", and moving from Win/C# to Linux/Go was eye-opening and very healing.

YMMV. I'm totally happy I found Go right then, when I needed it
