In Java, the compiler complains about unreachable code and aborts. I think that's ridiculous. Sometimes it's useful to create unreachable code during development. int foo = doSomething(); return 0; // Debug XXX DONOTSUBMIT int bar = doSomethingElse(); return foo + bar; It's hilarious, though, that this workaround works: int foo = doSomething(); if (1 > 0) return 0; // Debug XXX DONOTSUBMIT int bar = doSomethingElse(); return foo + bar; Go's mandatory warnings are equally annoying. I'm sick and tired of little rarefied groups of language designers trying to impose their ideas about best practices on the rest of the world.
