I very much like Go's approach to static typing. Go allowed me to retain the flexibility and ease of development that Ruby and friends provide, even though the output is fully statically typed. It's great!
- Peaker 14y agoHM type systems have been providing this benefit (to a greater effect than Go) for ~40 years...
- pjmlp 14y agoThat is Go's PR on the move, presenting Go features as novelty. My personal one is how fast it compiles, given I was doing the same thing with Modula-2 and Turbo Pascal in the mid-80's.
- happy_dino 14y agoI wouldn't call something "fully statically typed" when most abstractions can only be implemented by casting from and to the top type. There is a reason why no one wants to use Java 1.4 anymore. Go's "static typing" is next to useless.
