Furthermore this isn't "system programming", he just replaced a "user land" program with another. But I blame the Go team for turning "system programming" and "realtime programming" into useless buzzwords to promote their language.
- Gibbon1 7y agoYeah when I first looked at go that was the first 'no fu' for me. Go isn't a systems or real time programming language. It's a managed language with training wheels. Which is okay by me. Lying about it though is not okay. The second FU is they claim that decisions they made based on personal preferences were technical ones. That's a very insidious lie that programmers make all the time. Insidious because it destroys trust between programmers and managers.
- pjmlp 7y agoThis is not lying: - gVisor hypervisor on Google Cloud and Linux sandbox on Chromebooks - Android GPGPU debugger - Fuchsia TCP/IP stack and volume management - Baremetal TinyGo on Arduino Nano33 IoT, Adafruit Circuit Playground Express, BBC micro:bit among many others - Coreboot firmware - Biscuit POSIX like OS But whatever, the GC-FUD is strong among C devotees.
