The point isn't about learning something new. It's about trying to apply those things into a language they think is easier to work with.

- eloff 11y agoI'd argue the point is the opposite of learning new things. As the Go team themselves say, Go is an engineering project. It's about sticking to well understood, well defined ideas that allow large teams of typical skill to develop and maintain good software. Go is boring compared to some other languages that push the envelope and try new things. But that can be a good thing if you start thinking like the business owner instead of a code monkey.

- masklinn 11y agoThe problem is that Go doesn't use things which are well understood and well defined now (or were so 6 years ago when Go was released), it stopped its (partial collection) about 40 years ago.
