I'm curious about this but I'm barely a programmer now, so if anyone is up to explain

The go community is strongly opinionated in unique ways. For example, using libraries is generally frowned upon. You either use something included in the language itself (standard library) or copy/paste the code you wrote in another project. There's also advocacy for shorter variable names which generally seems counter to the normal "write descriptive variable name" mantra.

All in all, I hope the ideas / opinions came from a good place and then some people took them as black & white rules. But they also come off as one or two people's pet peeves who got to build a language around them.
