This is why a "go" rewrite story is not that appealing to me. You can rewrite a subset of a system and gain many improvements simply by benefits of hindsight and clearer requirements regardless of languages.
- gizzlon 13y agoObviously, but the author is smart enough to acknowledge this and take it into consideration. So.. what's your point?
- dodyg 13y agoOriginal production code is messy, especially the ones that have been maintained over the years through multiple requirement changes. A rewrite will make those messiness go away, for now, regardless on languages used.

That is how an academic paper is written: explicitly mentioning the real reason in just one or two sentences to avoid attacks from reviews, then associating a very minor or irrelevant fact to the phenomenon as the novel finding and main contribution of their work.
