There are many successful modern industrial languages out there that don't repeat the kinds of mistakes Go does. Kotlin is a strong example. So does the popularity of TypeScript show that we can successfully and fruitfully apply innovations from modern theory to industrial practise.
There's a tonne of real software being built in both of those languages. You don't need to ignore decades of research to build a successful and productive language.
- AnimalMuppet 3y agoYou wrote the post you wrote. And then you accuse zbobet2012 of condescension? Physician, heal thyself. Don't be so condescending to assume that Go's designers ignored decades of PL research. They knew it far better than you do. And don't be condescending to the programmers, either. They aren't sheep who are led astray by shininess and PR. If that many programmers are using Go, then many of them find genuine value in Go. It solves enough actual problems well enough for it to get used, a lot.
