Well cheers to someone making a compiled language that is like a simplified C/C++. Rust is great but it's a paradigm shift, and Go is great but it (edit here:) has a runtime which we don't have implicit control over.
This is a promising C-ish language without the cruft and easy foot-shot triggers.
Can't wait for the rules regarding packages/modules, how they are distributed, the clean and simple build systems, documentation constructs, and clean integration into VSCode ... and of course all of the key/default libraries we need to be productive.
Good start folks, looking forward to the next rev.
- sesteel 8y agoOut of curiosity, what makes you think Go is not compiled?
- sonnyblarney 8y agoIt's my fault. Go is compiled, of course, but it has a 'not yet very well optimized' runtime which I don't immediately associate with compiled languages. I should have been more clear. My bad.
- sesteel 8y agoNo worries, I was just curious if you read that somewhere.
- Scaevolus 8y agoWhat about Go's runtime do you find not very well optimized?
- petre 8y agoHave you even used it? According to my tests Go is quite well optimized. It beats most languages at prime number crunching/array push/map set.
- coldtea 8y agoAnytime I did any text work with it it was awful (including JSON etc).
- creatornator 8y agoGo is compiled... It has a runtime with GC but it is definitely compiled to static binaries.
