"System language syntax is weird, machine looking" - But if it's your job to program in C/C++/Go, you begin to read the code just like English. Go's syntax, you will admit, is much cleaner than C++'s. Personally I like blocks of code being separated by curly braces, I think it helps keep them separate. Combined with Gofmt, which automatically indents code (like Python), I find Go very readable indeed.
I don't understand your objections to the channel syntax; the order of the letters you type matters, obviously. Again, it's a personal preference, and I'm quite used to C's pre/postfix operators.
- Detrus 16y agoMy objection is aesthetics. It's subjective, a matter of taste. I prefer languages that you don't have to get used to. They're obvious, like a good user interface is obvious. Anyone can read their code, even if they don't work in the language. Go could be a language like that, there are no technical roadblocks for doing that, just a matter of the audience's taste.
- verysimple 16y ago"I prefer languages that you don't have to get used to." Is there such a thing?
- ido 16y agoOf course - every language that is similar to one you already know well :)
