I really don't want to argue about this (so I don't know why I'm arguing about it. Like I said, I think I'm just cranky this morning.) > I don't think they need telemetry. Go is clearly a successful language and community without it. Right! So why "pee in the soup"? > things could be improved with some telemetry Or they could not do those things? (I read "Why Telemetry?" and remain unmoved.) > you could weigh the tradeoffs I have. > the potential for improvement doesn't outweigh the risk of misuse That's not my argument. It's not even misuse that I care about here (I do care about that, but that's a separate concern, and one that doesn't arise if you don't collect data in the first place, eh?), I care about use. I don't want my compiler to make network connections to Google or anybody, for any reason. > reasonable people can disagree That's what I said.
