Doesn't golang not support `a < b < c` and chaining of comparisons? I don't see why they make that argument in their specification if it's not already legal Gol

  It's not chaining of comparisons, but rather a multi-valued expression - note the comma.

  It does not, so the argument is very much valid. https://play.golang.org/p/NQL1rVp-wVC https://play.golang.org/p/NQL1rVp-wVC -- it's trying to interpret that as (1<2)<3, and the types make no sense for that.
  • dllthomas 6y ago
    Which argument is valid?
    • yencabulator 6y ago
      That using angle brackets for generics would unduly complicate Go parsing.

        Then although I agree, I'm still not sure I follow. > It does not [support chained comparisons], so the argument is very much valid. Was your comment to the effect of "although Go does not support chained comparisons, it is syntactically valid for a comparison operator to be passed the result of a comparison so the issue can still arise"? That's valid, but I would have expected "but" in place of "so". (sorry if it seems I'm picking nits; I'm just trying to understand and explaining my attempts)
