Wow, that thread is a piece of work
> Gofmt was written to reduce the number of pointless discussions about code formatting. It succeeded admirably. I'm sad to say it had no effect whatsoever on the number of pointless discussions about syntax highlighting, or as I prefer to call it, spitzensparken blinkelichtzen.
> When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things.
I sincerely hope Rob Pike was being sarcastic/ironic, because otherwise, he sounds insufferable
- whateveracct 1mo agohe is insufferable. it's his thing lol.
- gizzlon 1mo ago> because otherwise, he sounds insufferable Oh come on, I like syntax highlights, but this is not "insufferable". It's just opinions expressed strongly, with probably some tounge-in-cheek
- philote 1mo agoHe sounds insufferable because he's calling syntax highlighting childish. Not simply politely saying it's not his thing. It's like he can't understand why anyone else would use it, or isn't bothering to. Maybe there's more nuance to what he said, but it's not obvious from the quote.
- wredcoll 1mo ago"I prefer to code in black and white only" "Everyone who uses syntax highlighting is a child" I mean, maybe he was genuinely trying to make a joke, but I'm well past the point of assuming random strangers are joking when they're being offensively dumb.
