Re nil: He said he rarely sees code fail because of nil dereferences, not that he rarely sees it. "if err != nil {" is probably the most commonly written line of Go code by a large margin. Nil fits well with the language's

I don't think your criticisms of Go are all wrong, but I do think they miss the point of Go. Go is designed to be a "best hits" sort of language. It doesn't try to do anything fancy or new (though several of its featur

Immutable values will complicate a type system and implementation. The Go creators are very strict about adding features to the language without enough justification, which is one of the biggest features of the language imo. There are more

I think it's a mater of the priorities of the language developers. <I've removed my thoughts on regex here because others have posted with more knowledge on the subject> As for runtime reflection, it's a very handy too

It's slightly more complicated than that: In addition to the init() function, variables on the package level can be initialized during initialization too. For example: http://play.golang.org/p/tvlX7cqaaB This is

The purpose was to not allow defining types which satisfy the interface outside the package. In this case they still want others to be able to use the values of the interface. It's an uncommon thing to need to do, but this example sho

As a note of feedback, I didn't notice the button at all. (Only knowing about its existence after looking at HN comments.) You do need to take a little bit a the viewer's attention for them to know about the feature.

I don't think it's commonly made by beginner modelers the way helloworld is with programmers. As I understand it, the teapot is more so useful as a pre-built model which you can use to test out different textures, materials, and

If it's anything like 1.2's c++ support, you have to write a wrapper in pure c, because that's what Go supports. So Go includes the C header files using Cgo, and you separately compile (and tell cgo to link) your c code whic

I think they just need more than two sources since there's more to program language popularity than they can two sources can show. Stack overflow naturally biases towards languages with worse documentation and those which cater to new

Yes, the halting problem can be solved for any programs which can only exist in a finite number of states, but most common definitions of a program would include things such turning machines, which can hold an infinite number of states. Re

Such a regex cannot exist: 1. Take an existing solution to finding the shortest regex given a list of inclusions an exclusions. 2. Take another unrelated arbitrary program. 3. Combine the two, when the arbitrary program terminates, use the

I disagree. I interned twice at a telco, and while I had access to a bunch of information in databases as a developer, I had no access to call records, and in general you didn't have access to it unless you needed it for work. The p

Depending on the logic in the site, that may be true. However you can't use the technique used here verbatim, as it relies on being able to use the last element and the nth element together to determine the number of elements and whet

If there is a break or panic in the iterator, not the loop using the iterator. If the loop using the iterator closes the channel, the program will crash.

It's very important when looking at the channel method to realise that goroutines are NOT garbage collected. If there is any chance of the loop calling break or panicking, there is a chance of leaking goroutines. Since you might not

Each package does not need to be in its own repo. You can put packages inside subdirectories. The standard library is full of these, such as the net library. There is the net library itself, and there are subdirectories, including http,
