Funny you should take Go as an example, since it's often bashed for not having taken the last decade of language design into account.

- qznc 14y agoGo does take the last decade of language design by Pike, Thompson, and Griesemer into account. Mostly Pike as I am not sure if the other two guys even did design some language in this time. Personally, I consider gofmt the biggest achievement of Go, if it manages to make that mainstream. While there are equivalent tools for C they are not widely used.
- masklinn 14y ago> Go does take the last decade of language design by Pike, Thompson, and Griesemer into account. Decade which ended 20-odd years ago relative to the rest of the world, kind-of the point.
- pjmlp 14y agoYou mean by designing a language that is basically Alef from Plan9(1992) with a few changes? Yeah, really actual.
- jff 14y agoThere's a difference between not taking it into account, and not believing it is worth including.
