This article written by Rob Pike covers the reasoning behind many design decisions: http://talks.golang.org/2012/splash.article http://talks.golang.org/2012/splash.article
- jessedhillon 14y agoWhen I say "it would have been good" I don't mean in general principle as a means to have orderly debate. I mean: the OP gives some very valid and sensible criticisms (I speak as someone who has used Go off/on for ~2 years), and given your background and area of expertise, I would love to know what the reasons are for some of the puzzling design decisions pointed out. You seem determined to be dismissive here, which is unfortunate because there are few others on HN who are qualified to address these criticisms.
