What’s even worse is crypto meaning cryptocurrency instead of cryptography now. Now I can’t talk about “crypto” without sounding like I’m going to fill up someone’s spam folder.

I saw metrics like this a while ago but it’s still hard to wrap my head around. We rarely see this enormous portion of the animals that outnumber us so much. I grew up on a farm in the rural western US, and our few cattle lived in nice litt

If I were going to do this, I’d probably go all the way to using ReScript, but it’s a nice idea. I’m quite surprised it’s not called ToffeeScript though.

The compilation speed of ReScript is also great

C on its own does feel like a simpler language though I think it’s true that the semantics taken literally undermine it (the generated assembly can be really surprising sometimes). I do trust a given Rust program to have a specific runtime

> The container/heap is more useful, but it could benefit more from adding an optimization for inlining interface method calls when Go compiler knows the underlying implementation behind the interface. This is exactly what generics

It’s not the only one. Some other packages that used workarounds like interface{} or other things to work around the lack of generics were container/{heap,list,ring}, sort, golang.org/x/sync/singleflight, /x/ex

Those are good points about some of them being nontrivial. Though part of why they’re optimized and in the stdlib in the first place is because they’re such common patterns. So without them people would end up writing trivial, unperformant,

By that logic we should remove bytes.Clone, strings.Split, bytes.Equal, strings.TrimLeftFunc, etc. from the standard library.

*lately It pops up on /r/golang sometimes. I don’t think it gets taken super seriously but there’s usually at least someone bringing it up.

Yeah, and I don’t tend to keep this around quantitatively, but I’ve certainly run into bugs in Go programs that would’ve been categorically prevented with generics. Of course I want sync.Map to use generics instead of interface{}. How cou

Generics consistently showed up as one of the most desired features (if not the most desired) by working Go developers in the previous developer surveys, so I think it makes sense that the Go team felt the ecosystem saw much value in it rel

It’s hard to be objective because of filter bubbles, but I’ve seen it a lot on Reddit last.

I understand, but it shows that compiler performance is the same as before generics now, so any performance hit is gone.

I’m gonna be that guy, but do you have sources for any of this? That link shows that compiler performance is the same as before generics, for instance. Are there more bugs in the compiler? Is readability reduced, and having an effect on pac

But if adoption is “very low”, then it’s not much pollution, is it?

A lot of people use PlusCal, which is basically pseudocode that compiles to TLA+. Depending on what you're modeling, PlusCal or directly writing TLA+ might be a better fit.
