Have you used Golang or Elixir? These languages get it very right.
- me551ah 8y agoGolang is pretty interesting, given how it's architected. But you have the concept of channels added on top of async/await which you need to keep in mind.
- Rusky 8y agoThey get something else right, not async/await. That something can often be used for the same purpose, but it's a different tool.
- weberc2 8y agoHow is this not a difference without a distinction?
- daeken 8y agoI can drive in a nail with a hammer or a boot, but that doesn't make hammers and boots the same thing. There are many different ways to accomplish any task.
- weberc2 8y agoI don’t think your analogy is very good. Boots are useful besides driving nails. What is async/await useful for except concurrency?
- da_chicken 8y agoI have no experience with Go, but boots being useful at tasks other than driving nails was pretty clearly exactly their point.
- weberc2 8y agoRight, so what's the thing that async/await is good at other than concurrency?
