just checked: the first Go code i ever wrote, over 8 years ago, still compiles flawlessly. obviously the world is filled with trade-offs, but my oh my is it nice to use a language that doesn't break old code.
- Uther 5y agoI'm not sure you can compare the code base of you first program in Go, that is probably small and straightforward, with something as huge and complex as Firefox.
- dilap 5y agoFair point! (But also I will say the relative smallness of my projects in other languages has proved no defense against code breakage w/ time :-)
