That’s whataboutism - no language is perfect, but given when go released it’s fair to hold them to a higher standard than languages what were designed 25 years

That’s whataboutism - no language is perfect, but given when go released it’s fair to hold them to a higher standard than languages what were designed 25 years earlier.
As an aside - D, Zig, Rust, even typescript got most of the lessons learned from C right
- blanched 5mo agoI'm not familiar with D, but Zig and Rust are well-known for continuously evolving. Zig has the (in)famous "Writergate": https://github.com/ziglang/zig/pull/24329 https://github.com/ziglang/zig/pull/24329 And besides Rust's high count of RFCs, there are things like async (I'm not complaining about it, but its an obvious large-scale "change"), module system changes, etc. (To be clear, I like both languages a lot. But I wouldn't call them slow moving or right from the start.)
- Maxatar 5mo agoD literally can't even maintain backwards compatibility between minor version updates not to mention a big part of the D community left when D reinvented itself with D2. Among languages it's probably the one that is constantly in a state of flux.
- Kapendev 5mo agoReally? Wow, this is like Zig and I love Zig!
- sunsetSamurai 5mo agowhat's a big project built with D? I feel it gets mentioned a lot on hackernews but I've never run into any project using it in the wild.
