>what do you find flawed in it?
* Package management
* The weird and approach to exception handling (which leads to overly verbose code)
* Lack of generics (which leads to overly verbose and somewhat hacky code)
* Vastly smaller 3rd party ecosystem
I think it works well for a very small subset of sysops-style problems (small servers, small command line tools, etc.) especially since it easily compiles into one small, portable binary, but outside of that it flounders.
- verandaguy 10y agoThanks for following up! Those are some of my gripes with the language too. The vendoring system/would-be package manager especially has caused me hours of headaches, and I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who considers it broken.
