I might not agree with fasterthanlime's opinion on Go (9/10 times I would opt to use Go over Rust), but calling this post a "shitpost" is unnecessarily dismissive. The post, like his previous post on Go, contain well thought out points that add to the discussion at the very least. Also I like his sense of humour :)
Edit: though, I suppose saying Go is not designed is also equally unnecessarily dismissive and hyperbolic.
- zozbot234 4y agoWell-thought out, how? It's flogging a dead horse in a transparent, deliberate attempt to create controversy and flamebait. That's a shitpost pretty much by definition.
- unethical_ban 4y agoI don't think it's obvious this was done in bad faith, even if the author is at times flippant.
- ibejoeb 4y ago> Portland Oregon, the capital of grunge, coffee, poor weather and whiteness it's kinda a shitpost
- biorach 4y agoIt's sarcasm, dumb humor - not trying to be inflammatory, or provocative - i.e. not shitposting. And let's face it, Portland kinda takes itself too seriously.
- hsnewman 4y agoI moved from Austin TEXAS to Portland to get away from the heat and forced conservitism. I also moved to Portland for the weather (cool and wet vs hot as hell and dry). I don't have to use my air conditioner! As for Portland taking itself too seriously, are you serious? Portland has so many quirky things that the conservative states don't have(much less putting walls up and making some people, making 2nd class citizens ((yes, voting rights)), and you say Portland is too serious? Good luck with that gaslight.
- masklinn 4y agoThey're funny(ish) asides which is pretty normal for lime.
- ibejoeb 4y agoI'm not complaining. I get the joke. I'll leave this for the Seattleites to argue.
- myrrlyn 4y agoyeah the actual titleholder to those is seattle
