not sure I agree. the ability to comprehend code goes way beyond surface-level formatting, especially since gofmt doesn't actually do that much

- kortex 6y agoI concur. It's not just gofmt (although it is great). With go and an IDE, I can drill straight down and basically hit "bottom of the stack" within <5-7 jumps of "jump to definition" (C-b for me). Python it's like layer on layer on layer of indirection, "clever" code everywhere, and frequently the track runs cold. I don't have to sit there and study some inscrutable nugget for minutes/hours cause it's all obvious. Not sure if it's the language, culture, or both, but I love it.
