Right, this exactly.
Also, why is every response with a hint of negativity towards google getting down voted?
If Google was doing the right thing, they wouldn't have to be shielded from online criticism.
- 0xCMP 10y agoBecause clearly right now isn't when the transparency is going to come. It might come soon. If we don't hear anything then yes that's a problem, but clearly even the person who wanted this proposal doesn't want to talk. This does not appear to be avoiding transparency, but just some people had a VERY heated discussion about this and are burnt out. Mine you, I'm a big user of Go for personal projects and so I've seen Google make it's unilateral decisions before. I just don't think this is one of those situations.
- wodencafe 10y agoI half-agree. If this issue was discussed in public rather than in private, perhaps the details could have been worked out without the whole proposal being withdrawn. But because of the Github thread and HN thread, this proposal is finally getting a fair shake by the public dev community. So, that's good at least :)
- magicalist 10y ago> this proposal is finally getting a fair shake by the public dev community This says a lot about the pain of getting anything standardized, honestly. The proposal has been in the works for two years, essentially in its current state for over 6 months, and it wasn't given what you consider a "fair shake" until there was some (imagined or not) soap opera drama.
- ubernostrum 10y agoDidn't some high-ranking Googler basically adopt "if you have nothing to fear, you have nothing to hide" a while ago? Wonder what they're afraid of.
