A few hot responses! (all in good fun)
> polyglot, blub, functional paradigms
Damn, one more I would have had bingo.
> Go is actively hostile to functional programming
Well, it does have genuine first class functions, lambdas and closures.
> you add a try/catch/throw, and you don't even need to look at the exception! 99% of programs need only one exception handler
pretty sure this is the exact reason Go does not have exceptions

Oh, you sweet summer child.
- Stratoscope 7y agoJust a tip, code formatting does not work well for quotes because it often leads to unnecessary horizontal scrolling (especially on mobile). A common convention here is to use a leading > character and italicize the quote by enclosing it in asterisks, like this: > *This quote can be any length without horizontal scrolling* which renders as: > This quote can be any length without horizontal scrolling Update: Thanks for making that edit. Much easier to read on mobile now!
