In fact, I have also encountered a downvote under the go tag or even on Reddit. Even for people like me who are familiar with SO community rules. Some people seem to be very demanding on the problem of golang. Golang is great, but people in the SO community not. You can see that many problems are downvoted and closed under the Go tag. This is not common under JS tag and Python tag.

My point exactly, and if one is a relatively new coder or has few reputation points, that negative experience is amplified by an order of magnitude.

(My experiences on the Python tag have not been stellar, for the record. I have better outcomes with the Freenode IRC room.)
