“Built with Go”. Seems like there are a lot of “built with X” articles. When I see these I always think who really cares that much which language something is built with? Isn’t there anything more headline-worthy about it than the programming language?
- pjmlp 8y agoIt gives leverage when someone states that X cannot be done in Y. So for example, if someone states C# cannot be used for writing an OS, then I can point to Midori.
- krageon 8y agoI haven't yet met anyone that wasn't just trolling when they claimed something like that. It should be fairly obvious you can do practically everything at any level of abstraction. It will just get more or less efficient (and even that is not a given).
- pjmlp 8y agoYou had luck, some people only accept certain truths specially in IT, if it is shown running before them. And even then, they might still dismiss them even if proven wrong.
- turtlebits 8y agoAt least with Go, usually you get cross platform static binaries which generally means easy to setup/get up and running/try.
