- DanWaterworth 14y agoI can't remember its name, but there's an effect whereby syntax and style are discussed more than semantics because they are easier to talk about. This is far from the worst thing about Go.

- DanWaterworth 14y agoI'm thinking of an effect that is specific to programming languages.
- stcredzero 14y agoThat's a good one. I've also recalled that a field being dominated by arguments over things that are not correct or incorrect but merely matters of personal opinion and taste is a sign of a "dead field." Repeated recurrences of the same idea repackaged as the "new" thing is another sign of such. The takeaway: One's time is better spent writing useful code.
