One of the changes no one seems to be talking about is in leadership. Rob, Robert, and Ken would agree on a feature going into Go before it did. Now Russ Cox is in sole control of the leadership. This is happening at a point when work such as Go 2 and vgo are happening.
- brianolson 9y agoWhere is the discussion of Go 2.0 happening? Are they still shutting down discussion of features they don't want to hear about like they did through all the Go 1.* years?
- frankietwenty9 9y agoI think one of the reasons Go is so good at being simple (relatively) - is that each feature required no other option available in order to make it into the language. I forget the article I read this from, so I may have the semantics slightly off. With just rsc we lose a little of this. There are many other incredibly talented engineers involved such as Ian Lance Taylor. I'm interested if this philosophy will still be important in the future.
- dilap 9y agoi didnt realize rsc was in sole control now. is that documented somewhere (out of curiosity)?
- ngrilly 9y ago> Now Russ Cox is in sole control of the leadership. What makes you think that? As far as I can see, Rob, Ian, Brad, Andrew and many others are still in the decision loop.
