It's like some people don't understand that an API is an "interface" and simplifying that interface is a boon to productivity, readability, DRYness, etc. All your points are spot on and its absurd that some people don't get that in this day and age.
"Abstractions are useless, lets all just program with cmp and jmp statements"--seriously folks, have we not learned anything?
- alok-g 13y agoIndeed. What I hate is that even after having a good understanding of software development and computer science fundamentals, and having a good picture of the solution to a given problem, I still cannot today program without having to perform multiple Google searches, reading Stack Overflow messages, etc. to deal with what should be trivial stuff. Just for example, if I were to need a set, I would search for "set" in Go documentation. If the set itself is not included, on the very least the documentation should talk about what should I do instead. But they won't even have that in there. Result: Few more Google searches.
