XML
I'm amazed people can get it as right as they do half the time? I do think Go will get fixed eventually. It's just too weird if they couldn't fix the core issue? But I've never used XML if I can help it, so I'm absolutely no expert on what would make it impossible to fix something like this.
- jerf 6y agoThey can fix the core issue... they can not do so while maintaining the 1.0 backwards compatibility promise. The data structures in encoding/xml in Go 1.0 are fundamentally incorrect for this use case.
- random5634 6y agoIs you sense they will maintain the promise? That is commitment (and I wouldn't be surprised if true). Could they add a flag / toggle to the existing API you could toggle to change behavior or do they need an entire new API?
