Get to read so much good about Go and I want to try. But then you see the syntax of Go - its plain-ugly - why ?

  plain-ugly is a lot better than unclear-ugly

    What qualifies as unclear-ugly ?
    • cweagans 10y ago

      Being too clever for your own good and writing wonderfully elegant code that randomly breaks on some other engineer who doesn't know you long after you have left the company. Surprise tire fire!

      This: $,="\t"; print readlines.map{|r| s=r.split; [s[0].to_i,r]}\ .max{|a,b| a[0]<=>b[0]} It's a ruby one-liner that prints the largest first field and the lines that contains that field.
