Talking about the benchmarks game as a shootout promotes "the same sort of (misinformed) tribalism-by-language" -- I didn't say you were promoting a particular language tribe. >>Perhaps use an HTTP 301 to redirect<< Perhaps that was understood 5 years ago, and there are obstacles to that approach. (Not that I think that's actually why people like to talk about the shootout.) >>promoted in TFA<< Here you are -- http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4544096 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4544096 He's talking about this -- https://groups.google.com/d/topic/golang-nuts/KqA1Jlpu2nM/discussion https://groups.google.com/d/topic/golang-nuts/KqA1Jlpu2nM/di...
