The pot is calling the kettle black.
Its always funny to read something like this coming from proponents of Go. Now thats a language that threatens to single-handedly bring us back 30 years in the past. A typed language invented in 2009 lacking generics and algebraic data types, and being proud of it (or at least its users being proud) - thats pretty much at the exact same level as JS "reinventing" callback-based async programming in 2009. And its users were similarly proud of this in 2010-2011.
At least Brendan Eich is modest enough to apologise for JavaScript's flaws and push as much as possible for fixes without backward compatibility breakage of the web.
- geodel 10y agoHow can one language not even in top 10 bring us back 30 years? Has it been made compulsory to be used by developers?
- pswilson14 10y agoNot OP, and I don't have an opinion on Go, but I think that's why he used the words "threatens to".
