Agreed. Seems to be a lot of disregard for the idioms from people picking up Go. I've recently had myself removed from a pairing where the project was some sort of ghastly java oriented Go. Not enjoying it.
- musha68k 10y agoThat's a real shame indeed as the biggest strength of Go IMHO is exactly the culture it emerged out of. Reading the source of the Go stdlib is a good exercise in preparation of "letting go" of your idiosyncratic perspective. In that regard it doesn't matter if you are coming from Java or Haskell or any other "world". "Perspective is worth 80 IQ points." - Alan Kay (who probably hates Go but that's OK too ;)
- accnumnplusone 10y agoI've read a decent amount of the std lib in the near 3 years I've been using Go. I think the idiosyncratic perspective is that of the people who are unable to let go of the language they're coming from and adapt to the new one. Bringing ideas to an ecosystem is one thing, disregard is another. While I'm here I'll throw in mention of npm-style 3 line function packages I've been encountering. I think you've presumed too much about my perspective, and lost out on that 80.
