Now there's a surprise. I've generally been very disillusioned with Go after they absolutely stonewalled everybody on uint128 (and continue to do so) for absolutely no reason (and ignoring that it would make many things in the language easier to express).

replyLike what?
Like IPv6 addresses, UUIDs, the list goes on. Does it mean anything that Go themselves had to invent a custom uint128 type in the standard library because they didn't want to add it to the language? There's a very long list of instances of them stonewalling it here: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/9455
