- Java's latest addition of green threads is 100% lifted from Go. - Rust and Zig's built-in language tooling, including dependency management and an opinionated autoformatter. - Java's ZGC was an obvious response to Go's

Things are what they are, not what someone (yes, even their creator) says they are. Unless you take a good look at the language itself, you will remain ignorant.

It's funny the single example you provide to back up your point is plainly wrong. The syntax Go went with is obviously better and every modern language uses it too, Rust, Zig, you name it.

The problem with the opposite is, since everything gets invisibly bubbled up to the top, you are not able to tell what errors do need to be handled. You only find those out from runtime failures and that's no good if you care about rel

It's not irrelevant, it's the entire point. The whole Go ecosystem uses a single formatter. There's no need to force anyone, everyone just uses gofmt. You will not be able to replicate that level of ubiquity easily at all.

It's the other way around, overwhelmingly so: "With 290 cyclist fatalities in 2022, cyclists were the largest group of road casualties." [1] "Cycling prevents about 6500 deaths each year, and Dutch people have half-a-yea

I find drivers are often utterly shocked by the presence of a pedestrian at a pedestrian crossing as well as a cyclist at a cyclist crossing. Unpredictable!

Oh my. First of, the statistics you point to are terrible. It's not the first time I've seen EU statistics on cycling be utterly incompetent either, it's weird. Anyhow: " Although there are no data available at EU level

Perfect vision without blind spots, unimpeded ability to hear, able to communicate via body language with pedestrians. Yes, biking is superior in city environments and should be encouraged.

It's very telling that you assume drivers in the early morning are trying to get to work but the cyclists aren't. It sounds like you live in America in which case I assure you the bike trails you speak of are inadequate to the poi

Of course you are opposed, you are not the target audience. Bike infrastructure is there to let your average person bike at 10mph to work/school/the grocery store. It's not supposed to be a racing track. > Riding in traf

Cars isolate their occupants from the environment. Not just physically, but psychologically - drivers are less aware of their surroundings and unable to communicate with other road users using body language. I think that is the leading caus

You don't want to hit people because you'll feel bad about it? That's good, but you have nothing at stake. You will not be the one dead/injured and the laws are on your side. Drivers have little incentive to care and it

The roads are paid for by my taxes so I'll use them fully, thank you very much. It's rare that riding on the side is viable. Easily 90%+ of drivers do not know when and how to pass a cyclist so I have to play babysitter and manage

That's a silly false choice, there's no reason to restrict either. Trams (nor ambulances) are not killing cyclists at notable rates. All that's needed is for city infrastructure designers to take into account the existence an

The potential consequences of a driver's mistake are ~20x greater than a cyclist's in a city environment. Do cyclists make 20x more mistakes than drivers to make up for that? So indeed, drivers complaining about cyclists is a joke

You would think so but it's often the opposite. The poorer you are the more conscious you have to be about money management so getting laid off may just be yet another obstacle life has thrown at you, business as usual. Meanwhile if yo

The comparison with a house does not work, it relies on a misapplication of the word "use". In the context of a house, "use" refers to ownership. You receive the benefits (use) of ownership regardless of your presence. Y

You can take that logic and apply it to any traffic law. Blowing red lights? Fine as long as you can tell there's no cross traffic, right? Laws were put in place because people are not in fact qualified to make these assessments. The o

No, it's because roads are designed with cars in mind and bicycles are not cars. It does not make sense to have the same exact set of rules apply to such different vehicles. Somehow we understand motorcycles aren't cars so we allo
