errors in deferred functions are handled just like they would be if the function were not deferred. There are some things like division by zero and array index out of bounds that cannot be used with this method without making the language

Not really.. you provide the base code, and the consumer of your package generates the specific types they need. As the package author, you don't actually generate any of the concrete implementations.

While I do agree that just saying "Well, Rob Pike and Ken Thompson must know what they're doing" is not a valid argument. I actually don't see many people making that argument. However.... There's authority, and t

I agree, those are two great reasons to use Go.

Obvious solution is to add toml to the std lib. :) only half joking. Toml rules.

Wow, if that's voice typing, I'm impressed, mine is never that good :) I do understand where you're coming from. More code means more code that can have bugs, I totally agree. However, more complicated code also means more b

My apologies, there didn't seem to be much to address. > the only people who would use Go are people who aren't aware of the last few decades of compiler research: people who think coroutines are a new idea and aren't sure

If you haven't written any Go code, how can you know what weaknesses are significant? This is why people read reviews of every new tech gadget - because the feature list doesn't tell the whole story - you need the input of someon

There's no such thing as lib1 version 3.x. lib1 is a single version. Every import path is a unique package. If you want to make a new version of lib1, you need to give it a different path. This can be as easy as manually inserting

Actually, CoreOS is using the version of godep that rewrites import paths, so that most developers can use "go get". The only time you need to use godep is when you're updating one of the vendored dependencies. That'

You don't have to replace the go command to do that. The only thing that needs the GOPATH and expects import paths to be URLs is "go get". You can very easily make a go project that uses all relative import paths and put it

A package manager can't run my tests and confirm that my code doesn't break with the newer version of the lib (just because it supposedly has no breaking changes doesn't mean it works .... there are a surprisingly large numb

The point about gopkg.in being centralized is valid. You can run a copy yourself (it's open source), or you can use a more simplistic version that many people use which doesn't even require running a service, just serving some st

Thanks for clarifying :) Yes, I should be more careful about specifying data races vs. race conditions :)

Yes, you can. The URL is the version. If you want a different version, you need a different url. For example, when I released v1 of my package "lumberjack" you imported it with import "github.com/natefinch&#x2F

You really don't need a package manager for Go. Honestly, the main reason you need them for node, python, etc is because you're deploying source code to your production environment. You don't do that with Go. You deploy a

The core goals behind Rust and Clojure are very different from those behind Go. This article/presentation would not be appropriate for those languages. I don't think anyone would say that Rust or Clojure are simple languages, or

note that symlinking is not actually the recommended flow ;) Just put everything in gopath.... I even put non-go code in my gopath... it's just a nice way to organize - by the VCS url.

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, the plugin for Go for Sublime will tell you when you type something that won't compile. It has autocomplete for functions and types etc. It has go to definition. Some plugins will let you compile stra

I'm not saying "don't write a tool that does this". Sure, having an API diff tool for my code would be awesome. And it's possible someone has already written such a thing for Go. If not, someone definitely should

With decent static analysis you could check that the signatures of all types and functions are identical or compatible, I suppose, but checking that the functionality is compatible in any kind of generic way is impossible. The former is ne

I don't understand how any software can possibly enforce semantic versioning. Sure, you can ensure that 1.4.2 is immutable, but you can't enforce that breaking changes aren't put in 1.4.3. As I said, there are tools that let
