The problem with Go is likely a result of having the kinds of stated goals that it has. The designers of Java deliberately created a language that was for people they didn't trust. The result is a hammer that looks and works like a dildo.
So we're likely headed to where the commensurate Go analogy to Java is a hammer that looks and works like a catheter or something?
One last analogy. What would you prefer: a pilot who has been certified to fly that aircraft and has a minimum number of flight hours or giving every passenger a joystick sticking out of their seat tray so that maybe collectively they won't crash the plane?
Oh, and you kids get off my lawn (waves cane)! ;)
- Merovius 11y agoThe correct analogy (as we are generally not building people) is "Building an aircraft, that needs a pilot with certification and a certain number of flight hours, or building an aircraft that can be flown by any passanger with minimal instructions, if the need arises". In the latter aircraft, you still benefit from an experienced pilot, but at least, if they pass out, get drunk or plainly go rogue, you still have a decent chance of dealing with the situation, instead of just crashing.
