> Yeah, like that's not a good thing You think it's a good thing. The parent doesn't. So isn't it better that both Go and Java exist, rather than Go be Java-ised, so you both get what you want? > Strawman fallacy. It's only a straw man to those who like the tradeoff. Tradeoffs are always a matter of judgement. The parent (and many others) make a different judgement to you. So isn't it better that both the Java and Go approaches exist, to satisfy different tastes?
