Notes on Python to Go Translation of reposurgeon (2018)
- Qem 3y agoAny news on ESR? Since around 2020 it seems he went into complete radio silence. I wonder if the recent improvements in Python performance would be enough to avoid the translation, if done today.
- hiAndrewQuinn 3y agoHe's still around, I think. His homepage was last updated 2023.05.
- a2800276 3y agoI heard he shot himself in the pecker waking from a wet dream about Antifa activists forcing him to take the corona vaccine and consequentially mistaking his wiener for a tiny Mexican. Or maybe I just dreamt it. Sounds about right either way, though.
- esr 3y agoI'm still writing code and shipping releases. I have a book in progress. Yes, I've been quiet. I never really liked being Mr. Famous Guy; I did it tactically to achieve the mission of mainstreaming open source and gave it up as soon as I could.
- Qem 3y agoNice to know everything is OK. What will the book subject be?
- lucidguppy 3y agoI love the term "eyeball friction" when referring to Golang's error handling.
- GaryNumanVevo 3y agoI've really, really tried to like GoLang. After 6 years of programming in it, I'm always looking for any opportunity to not use it. Anyone who's written a client library in Go will know what I'm talking about, it's incredibly inelegant. It's very hamstrung by the dedication "simple" which ironically leads to a lot of weird code (empty interfaces, etc) that's hard to explain for anyone not familiar with the language.
