Application in Haskell is left associative so its
((Map String) Any)
You seem to have stumbled on the exact conflict. Anybody who's seen the theory of lambda calculus will recognize the significance of what you've written, and how it applies to partial binding of functions.
Anybody who hasn't will either be thinking of lisp or just be totally confused.
This is where the conflict is. Many developers actually know some programming theory and find Go woefully insufficient for anybody calling himself a programmer. And the ones that just fiddle around with things and make barely working programs without really knowing what they're doing are very happy that they don't have to know this in Go.
What's really going on is that people with real programming background find that Go forces them to think at the lowest possible level of abstraction, with no way up. And people without any programming background say "that's GREAT !".
- the_af 12y agoI'd find it depressing if there was any programmer out there who had trouble understanding the concept of "left associativity". I think I learned it in high school.
- Peaker 12y agoHe's talking about the concept of currying, not left-associativity.
