> Basically, the Go team is a bunch of old white dudes, which already means the project is poorly managed from the start

This seems like a broad generalization. Can you please elaborate?

That argument completely makes sense (I don’t know if it’s true, because I know absolutely zero about the go community, but it’s a sensible argument). It’s a pity that to make it, you initially used the shorthand of “old white dudes“ - a derogation based on people’s race, sex and age.

> Special attention like having diverse people in positions of power.

You realize that selecting people based on "diverse" qualities is the very act of racism/sexism/whatever-ism, right? You propagate what you claim to oppose.

What? The only Plan 9 people that were on the Go team I know of are Thompson, Pike and Russ. I'm pretty sure that neither Thompson nor Pike know what 4chan is. Russ, being the younger one, probably has heard of it, but I doubt that he ever used it. I've never heard them make sexist jokes. On the contrary, I have heard Pike and rsc speak out for diversity in software engineering and social justice quite often.

Individual people cannot be diverse.
