I wasn't making an argument at all really, just sharing my point of view. I also didn't think that the claim that many bad faith arguments regarding the utility of generics came from the Go community would be scrutinized and needed supporting. Besides it's irrelevant and petty to bring it up now, I'm more interested to see how these new generics fare.
- foldr 5y agoIt is irrelevant and petty to bring it up now – but you have. I think you should either withdraw the comment or point to an example. Making broad brush accusations of bad faith just doesn't help to get to the bottom of any technical issue. It's fine to express your opinion, but if you publicly say bad things about a community, you should be prepared to substantiate those claims when asked. HN commentary on Go seems to repeatedly return to increasingly exaggerated and vitriolic claims about the supposed idiocy of the Go team or Go community in relation to generics. The factual foundation of these claims is virtually nil. It appears to be some kind of group false memory phenomenon, where vague second hand reports, endlessly repeated, become accepted as fact. I would therefore invite you to actually try to find some examples of these bad faith arguments, for your own benefit if nothing else.
