Indeed it's as capable as those languages in this domain. The productivity is higher though, thanks to the stdlib.
- pjmlp 8y agoGo's stdlib is a tiny portion of what Java and .NET offer.
- grumpydba 8y agoYes those are two bloated stdlibs.
- pjmlp 8y agoOn the contrary, they are feature rich with capabilities that Go still hasn't found a proper way to support, like something comparable to Swing. Naturally turning into name calling is easier when running out of arguments.
- grumpydba 8y agoYou say this as if swing is a plus for java. It looks alien everywhere. Is it used by eclipse by the way?
- pjmlp 8y agoIt is used by JetBrains products, a fairly small company selling developer tools, you might have heard you them. They happen to sell an IDE for Go.
- weberc2 8y agoJava hasn't found a proper way to support something comparable to Swing. :) If Java's standard library is reasonably sized, what is your idea of a bloated standard library? How often do you use SOAP? Applets? Open MBean? CORBA? Relation? > Naturally turning into name calling is easier when running out of arguments. I like many of your posts. This one is just gratuitous ad hominem.
