Little by little, the Go team is reinventing a build system.
- stefantalpalaru 12y agoThose who ignore Autotools are condemned to reinvent it. Poorly.
- dilap 12y agoThis can't be true, because it is impossible to create a build system that is worse than autotools.
- crpatino 12y agoYou can always emulate all autotools' shortcomings, you know, for backwards compatibility. And then add a bunch of defects of your own making on the top.
- zak_mc_kracken 12y agoThe Go team seems well on its way to doing just that :-)
- 4ad 12y agoPlease re-read the article and grep the Go source code to see how go generate is being used. It's not for building anything, it's not involved in building at all. It's a tool authors use when they see fit, and it's completely orthogonal to building.
