Oh man this brings back memories. I learned golang for/during a performance coding competition. It was extremely frustrating asking questions about unsafe, pointer casting, and other nuts and bolts in golang-nuts and the irc channel.
People were flat out refusing to answer very straight forward questions because "what are you trying to do", "that's not safe", "you shouldn't have to do that".
Other fun times; trying to clear the dirty bit on an ntfs file system, and probing into details only "library writers" should have to worry about.
- Can_Not 9y agoThere was a discussion earlier in life about how Django didn't support prepared statements. I didn't believe this, as no ORM I've ever used didn't use prepared statements by default. I asked around, trying to verify this claim. I got "what are you trying to do?" I'm trying to find out if Django's ORM uses prepared statements by default. Outside of that one ticket in Google search results (I'm not tuned into that ecosystem, so I can't discern if it's reliable proof or not), it seems like nobody really knows.
