Pulling no punches:
Other than that, I will probably never choose to use Go for anything ever again, unless I’m being paid for it. Go is just too different to how I think: when I approach a programming problem, I first think about the types and abstractions that will be useful; I think about statically enforcing behaviour; and I don’t worry about the cost of intermediary data structures, because that price is almost never paid in full.
Wow.
- solidsnack9000 10y agoThe cost profile for data structures is different in Go, though, since it tries to stack allocate very aggressively. GHC, like Java and many other classical GC'd languages, tends toward heap allocation.
