Is this coincident with Go 1.5 release?

• steveklabnik 11y ago
  No. We release every six weeks, period. Any resemblance to other releases, living or dead, is purely coincidental.

    FYI, Go releases roughly every six months. From http://blog.golang.org/go12 http://blog.golang.org/go12, "This new release comes nearly seven months after the release of Go 1.1 in May. We anticipate a comparable interval between future major releases." Go 1.3 and 1.4 took six months, 1.5 eight months.

      It is called humour.

          I apologize, I was going for humor. No aggression was intended. Humor is hard in text. What I meant with the "period" is that our schedule isn't tied to features, if a feature isn't ready, it just misses the release and goes into the next one. I can say, unless there's some kind of catastrophe, that Rust 1.6 will be released on the 21st of January.

          You seem to think he is implying something about go. I'm pretty sure whatever you think is being communicated in the original comment was not the intention. Try asking for clarification rather than stating your interpretation of what someone said as fact. Try giving people the benefit of a doubt. To my eyes, the only one being aggressive here is you, when others are just trying to correct what appears to be your misinterpretation of the original statement.

            Well, for being someone from Go community and commenting in a Rust thread, your feeling that I misinterpreted the statement is legit. But lets be honest, there are some attitude somewhere in the original comment, and I admire him being open.

              > But lets be honest, there are some attitude somewhere in the original comment I really don't think there was. I think he was trying to communicate how serious they are in hitting their 6 week release timeline, and that marketing a release by matching some other current event (such as a Go release with a specific version) is not important to them when compared to this. The only attitude I think should be inferred from this is that they really want to hit their release schedule. > and I admire him being open I think his apology was for being unclear, not for disparaging another language. I think this is just some of the left over feeling you have from the original perceived sentiment of the comment. It can be hard to shake the feeling of an initial reaction, even if you've logically processed away much of the original reason for that feeling. It probably doesn't help that there's been some anti-Go sentiment going around HN lately, but that doesn't mean that was his intention.

In US English, at least, following a statement with "period" (I think UK's "full stop" is used similarly) indicates that the preceding statement is concrete and has few exceptions. It's not typically used to indicate aggression, unless spoken out loud with an aggressive tone.

      I think he was going for funny. It's a common preamble to TV shows to say "Any resemblance to real people, living or dead, is just a coincidence." It keeps them from getting sued by people.
