I could really care less what Rob Pike things about programming rules, coming from the person who things capitalising is a great way to export things, ignoring that capitalised characters are mostly just a Latin thing, and so the whole concept of his toy language is just that... forever a silly toy language.
- 38 3y agoits a shame that you would toss away an entire language because of a small gripe. I agree that the case thing is annoying, but Go has many strengths and is broadly useful in a variety of situations. when I started C++ was the "defacto" language, even taught in schools. for many years I avoided programming and I didn't know why. once Go came along it all clicked. I avoided programming because languages like C++ are awful. I could give reasons but people mostly know what they are. Go is great because its mostly simple, and the dev team is not afraid to "say no", even aggressively, if a feature is not strongly useful. plus the tooling is better than most languages one might come across.
