The language has definitely come a long way. Coroutines are definitely a useful addition to clang. It was my #2 choice for writing a middleware for Elasticsearch, however I ultimately chose Golang because I didn't want to deal with CMake.
- pjmlp 9y agoCMake isn't the only build system in town, not being able to use an expressive language due to a specific build system seems a bit too much.

- pjmlp 9y agoI would understand dropping C++ for Swift, Rust, D ..., not Go. Borland C++ for MS-DOS had pre-processor macros for generic data structures, back when ANSI was still trying to figure out how templates should look like. On those days, Java or Oberon derivatives as alternative made sense, because templates weren't even a workable feature in 99% of C++ compilers, so most of us didn't had real exposure to them.
