Nah, it's just the "we want generics now" crowd finding a new way to whine.

- mcguire 7y agoI don't use Go, I think rsc's module system is significantly better than the community version (although bad in its own way), and I find your broad dismissal... unappealing. Can we keep the discussion substantive?
- eternalban 7y agoI am curious why you even care about this conversation if you don't use Go. I think OP has a point that perhaps could have been expressed more gracefully.
- yellowapple 7y agoMaybe this is a reason why this person doesn't use Go? That'd be good enough reason to care, I'd reckon.
- geezerjay 7y agoGoogle's blanket dismissal of any criticism of Go's GOPATH design screwup pushed people away from adopting Go.
- eternalban 7y agoBe serious.
- mcguire 7y agoI am interested in programming languages (and especially module systems), and Go is a neat case. Plus, I've been following the antics of the ex-Bell Labs team for years.
- eternalban 7y agoIn that case you possibly agree with my sentiment that Go 1.0 is 'World according to Pike' (with associated +/-). And note that I wasn't being snippy at you. Some of us have invested literally a decade in this at times infuriating language and are loathe to see it 'normalized' due to social pressure.
- mcguire 7y agoI would very much agree with that description. :-)
- icholy 7y agoFair, my comment was unnecessarily sassy.
