This is great, but I can't help remembering learning Go 10 years ago, when this was already decided (for better or worse) by the language designers. Languages are for getting stuff done NOW, not discussing getting stuff done better, maybe, someday.
- masklinn 6y agoYou… do realise that you can get stuff done with rust NOW, and this is simply a project to make things better, right? Like, I don't know, discussions around generics in some future Go? Hell, 4 out of the 5 goals stated in this announcement aren't even about changing anything but rather about mapping out the existing landscape and clarifying the current best practices, which by definition are already in use.
- jeffrallen 6y agoI am also not in favor of Go generics.
- masklinn 6y agoBut again this has nothing to do with the article, or the thread. Discussing possible evolutions doesn't preclude "getting stuff done NOW".
