You realize Dart literally has broken generics? That the team thought covariant mutable collections was a good thing?
- lucian1900 13y agoPerhaps there is a lack of appreciation of generics at Google in general. Go entirely lacks them, as another data point.
- happy_dino 13y agoYes, but I think it's a more wide-spread issue. Comparing languages of the European school with languages of the Anglo-Saxon school, it seems like the wide-spread anti-intellectualism in the US has a large impact on language design quality. I remember that Dijkstra had some pretty good article about it.
- ahoge 13y agoI literally meant none of JavaScript's flaws from the "WAT" talk. Anyhow, JavaScript doesn't have any kind of generics or types. Do you really prefer that?
