I think my problem really comes down to the fact experimentation with Go is fundamentally impossible. It's like trying to experiment with another highly opinionated framework.
It's usefulness for producing something that works well quickly is great. The second you want to take some time to explore it simply punches you in the face and sends you to the back of the line. In some sense, I guess, Go just offends me.
- cube2222 3y agoExperiment with what, explore what? Your comment is very general, and doesn't make much sense - Go is just fine for prototyping. If you mean PL research and being able to experiment with custom methods of abstraction and DSLs then yes, indeed, there's not much to do. Which, as I mentioned above, is a feature in most cases.
- zer8k 3y agoI got downvoted because I guess "experiment" was too loose of a term. Indeed, I mean being able to modify the system to suit you. Go, instead, is a system that molds you in it's image. Which is why I believe it's the next iteration of Java and not something like C or C++. It's just simply not "open" enough to create a novelty that enhances it in a way that Google approves of.
