Golang Sucks
- jsiepkes 7y agoWow....why would anyone go through so much trouble just to create such a site?
- hliyan 7y agoBetter if parent had linked to the source: https://github.com/ksimka/go-is-not-good https://github.com/ksimka/go-is-not-good
- manojlds 7y agoYeah the motivations should be read first.
- rhardih 7y agoThis seems very counter-productive. A quick find-in-page, also reveals a skew towards older articles. Some of these might not be relevant anymore. 2012 - 19 2013 - 20 2014 - 60 2015 - 84 2016 - 26 2017 - 18 2018 - 6 2019 - 0 (© 2019 GitHub, Inc.)
- Finnucane 7y agoIt does raise the question if there’s less complaining now because older issues have been resolved.
- majewsky 7y agoA quick scrolling through the list shows various issues that have indeed been resolved: - GOPATH is a mess (not needed anymore) - bad dependency management (Go now has a somewhat conventional package manager built in) - immature GC (now one of the best of breed) - slow JSON parsing (has significantly improved since 2015) Also, a large part of the supposed evidence for "not good" is a matter of taste.
- justinclift 7y agoNot sure who flagged this. It's not a great site, but flagging it seems more like a suppression tactic from someone a bit over-enthusiastic, rather than a solid call. :/
- Tomte 7y agoI did. Yes, I'm obviously over-enthusiastic, not having written a single Golang program in my life. eyeroll If you find a landing page consisting of one quotation and six unfounded, insult-laden statements a worthwhile submission, then I won't try to reason with you.
- ekampf1 7y agoOnly unfounded if you don’t read what’s inside
- Tomte 7y agoI evaluate what's been submitted, not something else linked from there. OP could have submitted the GitHub writeup and I wouldn't have flagged it.
- justinclift 7y agoSo you flagged it because you don't like it. eg to stop other people seeing it, rather than just ignoring it and moving on?
- Tomte 7y agoI flagged it because random insults have no place here.
- justinclift 7y agoIt sounds like you've not really looked at the site. It's a collection of articles about Go, with an emphasis on the bad points. eg the "insults" are links to full articles Sure, the format is lousy, but the info is somewhat relevant.
- smitty1e 7y agoThis site clearly explains why containers hve flopped so badly in the market.
