I've seen the same position posted for a YC-backed company for over a year. I commented on it months ago, it's funny to see this topic come up again. We seriously need some legislation in this area. Finding a job as a tech worker is hard enough.

Seems strange that Rust's "?" gets a mention syntax-wise, but nothing is said about sum types coming to Go. Go's verbose error handling and lack of sum types are my only gripes with the language. It would be nice to see both addressed using Rust's Result type as a model.
