Uhg such programming language Stockholm syndrome. You could apply this fallacy to any feature. The lack of modules and a performant garbage collector also bred creative solutions in previous Go releases, but that doesn't mean that adding those was a bad idea.
- emersion 8y agoAs said in the article, solutions to these problems have now been implemented. These solutions _feel_ very Go-ish. Modules are an elegant solution. Adding them was a good idea. Until we find an elegant solution for the generics issue, it's better not to have them.
