the timeline C -> C++ -> Java -> Go is ridiculous at best, and this ignores work on exceptions or error handling in countless other languages that could have made it better.
- batista 14y agoWrong, the timeline C -> C++ -> Java -> Go is more or less what the industry went through (well, assuming it's getting to Go now and it'll catch on). It correctly ignores the work on "countless other languages", because they didn't have any if at all traction to the trade, and don't matter much as far as 90% of programmers are concerned, and the few languages outside those that do (Perl, PHP, Ruby, C#, JS, Python, VB) are quite similar to the above.
