 bro i've been into Go since 2012 when i first heard about it on #btc  at freenode back when that still existed

i'm not changing my mind, and especially not to switch to something by a company that builds a web browser that has non-disable-able DRM built into it, fuck mozilla and fuck nutscrape

the anti-go propaganda is completely ridiculous

the go authors are the old school of computer science who are still kicking around and most of the rest have dropped dead

#golang  only for life 
 There are only two messages in that rant:

The guy doesn't like go and the guy doesn't understand go.

Also LISPs are the best 🤟 
 been missing your commentary :)

personally i'm a fan of the Wurths and Go is heavily shaped by his design ideas, the modules, the "odd" function syntax, the use of sentinels in the top level structure of source files, the "allocate and assign" operator :=

the reason for my taste in language design largely comes from my experience in language implementation - Go, and all the Wurth languages that fed into its most salient features - are simple, they compile fast, they are easy to learn, and they integrate linking seamlessly

every time i deal with C code i groan at the endless repetition of H and C files and the makefile, it's such a scattered mess 
 I agree. go > c > c++

I hate c++ 
 ...and rust is just C++++
