I wrote this like 7 or 8 years ago, so it was fairly novel at the time :)
> Go just doesn’t have a solution for that yet. Go 2 of course, promises to add one
I’ve also been hearing this since I initially wrote this. In any case, the article is about Go as it exists. If Go 2 actually makes significant improvements in these domains I will add an updated header pointing that out.
- jchw 5y agoYes, to be clear, it makes sense for back then. It was weird to see it on HN frontpage as if it were new. However the Go 2 thing is not in the same state it was in 2014; the design proposal was formally accepted and a compiler exists. It will likely take a long time to see how it hashes out, but it’s probably fair to treat it as an inevitability at this point.
