It doesn't exist in Go either. https://go.dev/ref/spec That's why you find it in the comments. That is where tools have found a place to add their own syntax without breaking the Go code. Absolutely you can d

You are right that there could be new syntax, like, say, `@tool:name args` or `#tool.name args`, but is that any different than `//tool:name args`? They all read the same to me. The upside of that particular syntax is that only th

Most certainly. I wouldn't be here if I understood the nature of it. Nobody talks about the things they know about. The mind loses interest in what it already understands. If it didn't we'd all be sitting here discussing 1+1=

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure future historians appreciate when you document that John, when trying to determine how to figure out how to exchange data in your application, took a drink from his Diet Coke that happened to have a fl

Nobody upvoted me. That goes without saying, no? Why would anyone take time out of their day to press a button that does absolutely nothing?

Unless you're doing something wrong, the "why" is already captured in your test suite/type system. While you can fairly call that documentation (that is the point of it!), the linked story is about natural language docum

The best time to move your docs to your repo was 30 years ago. But now that they are written by LLMs, tomorrow's LLM will be able to write an even better doc than today's LLM. Nothing is gained in caching them now.

So what you are saying is that, under communism, women exploit women and men bear the children? I know Projet de communauté philosophe is utopian, but I don't think that is the story it tells. Maybe something got lost in translation?

So you understand that a MrBeast burger isn't made by, or from, the person known as MrBeast, but when one pays to join the MrBeast YouTube channel you are certain the comments from user MrBeast are made by the person known as MrBeast?

Just wait until you find out that a MrBeast burger is not made by, or of!, the guy who plays MrBeast on TV either.

I'm too old, but it seemed like it would be decent for a beginner in the mid-to-late 00s. But it never handled advanced, difficult topics very well.

A democratic election requires that the elected be your employee, where you work with him on a regular basis to direct him in his job. That works (ish) in government where people doing the hiring have heavily invested life interests in it s

I did see the early presentations. And since you did too, you will recall that one of the primary priorities was for it to "feel like a dynamically-typed language". You know, because it was trying to be a faster Python. What you m

I thought it was a simple question. You don't know if you have read the comments or not?

No, words in a document do not change by an unrelated party having living some kind of experience. Not even if that experience is negative.

You must not have read all the comments yet? One of Go's key runtime maintainers sent you a message. Now is your opportunity to give him your plan so that he can give you the political support you seek.
