I never mind that creator was ambitious. The problem is he made the claims as if they were implemented, without even knowing about the feasibility of them.
The creator of V also seems to lack knowledge of CS fundamentals and apparently thinking he can make a great language by retrofitting "missing features" into Go.
The language is an unfunny joke.
- Joker_vD 6y agoWell, I can definitely see why someone would want to add generics and less verbose error handling to Go.
- higerordermap 6y agoThe word is retrofit.
- Joker_vD 6y agoI fail to get the distinction you're trying to make. "To retrofit", to my knowledge, means "to add a part to something that didn't have it originally". Is it supposed to be pejorative?
- kd0amg 6y agoSlightly pejorative in that it suggests a result that's less effective/streamlined/economical/whatever than had the new part been included (or at least accounted for as a possible extension) in the original design.
- delian66 6y agoThe joke is on you. I do use V daily and enjoy it for the most part. You bitch about it on HN, without using it. I find it pretty funny actually.
