@nuko I actually do find developing with Go intolerable. tolerable for editing, intolerable for starting a new project. legitimately something bad about people that are okay using it, sorry not sorry

@nuko it's true even if I don't like who it came from, there is tons and tons and tons of type masturbation that doesn't result in better or more software in the end

@sun then i fail to understand why you felt the need to post a meme made by indians about g*lang being better at shitting shovelware out (the irony is im saying this on an instance operated by a g*lang user)

@sun @nuko I enjoy it greatly. Way better than C++ and D.
Now, I still remember learning and it noticing that for a language that young it had a surprising amount of warts. And it was like that from Day One. But then I also remember how much Python had to evolve (xrange lol). So yeah, Go had to add a whole new type to represent IP address, because they forgot to make the original one comparable. But it's insignificant next to the power of the force, I mean, next to C++ references and STL. Or D's templates for that matter. Go is a perfect language for someone of my limited cognitive capacity.
TBF the demise of GOHOME made the biggest contribution to my acceptance of Go. When it became possible to store source where I want, check them into git, and use Makefiles, things changed completely.

i had written basic -> asm/pascal -> c -> ruby sticking with ruby for a decade. gohome drove me nuts i wouldnt bother trying to learn. now that its tombstoned im happy and have been writing it ever since. im more of a hacker than j am programmer but after learning basic go syntax and idioms it just started to flow.
what really gets me is how tight and fast the feedback loop is.
