Your metaphor, to me, would be more along the lines of the browser frame, the clicking, the scrolling, ... Not the content and the design.

Oh well, I guess even Swedish names would be pretty easy for Swedes, when you have he choice between "hell" and "kitchen table" :D

Easy for me as I know black metal (extreme metal in general) quite well, so I got 18/20 (they did put some obscure bands in there). But that is funny how close some names look/sound. As someone else pointed out, they should&#x27

awesome, thanks!

That's fine, I know it can't please everyone, but as mentioned in the docs and the article, this is more about Lua-like semantics with a syntax very close to Go than Java. There are no exceptions per se , there are runtime errors

Hi, author here. Actually, Lua and Javascript were more of an influence than PHP (I don't know PHP much). But type checking was an obvious thing to remove since I'm aiming for a dynamically-typed language, and I do want sufficie

Thanks, it's a very early "vision", but I'm happy with the way things are going!

This looks very nice and seems like a great idea, however I was surprised to see "TODO: Unit tests" in the README, so I peeked around in the source files, and effectively it seems there are no unit tests at all in the repo. I&#x27

Well, I edit with vim and git push when I'm ready. But if you really want a browser-based editor, [Draft][0] is very nice. [0]: https://draftin.com/

Author here. As I mention in the opening lines, I agree that this is really not the most original idea, barely above web frameworks :) This was an attempt to build the minimal features required to have a useful yet ridiculously simple blog

Apparently Shopify has quite a bit of Go on the backend. I don't know any specifics about the rationale, so I can't tell if this means anything WRT Rails.

why exclude Stylus?

Well, you can say this either way. It also packs 362 hp, which makes the other cars look like matchboxes in comparison. Where I agree with you, though, is that it is crystal clear that they don't target the same customers, and in this regar

Were you so happy to bash someone that you missed the "default back to the desktop" part? From the average end user point a view, bring back the "default desktop" and the start button and yes, you're effectively back to Win7. I accept your

> If they put the start button back and default to the desktop, that would address 90% of people's concerns. And that would erase 90% of Windows 8. Hard to call Windows 8 a success if Win8.1 or whatever reverts back to the good ol' star

This was an example of a website built with Go for a talk given by Andrew Gerrand recently.

But because it comes with a small core, the time you saved will be spent searching and learning userland modules, written with wildly varying degrees of stability and coding styles. Unless, of course, you just use your own, then your time h

Selection, yes. Natural? Do you somehow imply that technology that "wins" mass adoption is "better"? Or that it gains mass adoption based on rational analysis of its "value"? There are quite a few unnatural forces at play, here...

That's actually a very decent answer. You should've expanded your reasoning a bit on the ember thread. Although to be honest, I thought the tone was more funny than sarcastic, but I'm emotionnally detached from the subject. With your explan

The end state could be a map[string]struct{}, since it is only used to test the presence of the string. The bool value is unused, and an empty struct takes no memory, so it would be an admittedly tiny optimization. Related: Rob Pikes' lexic

I don't know for Andrew, but I use Sublime Text 2. Cmd-., Cmd-P and type the import name, you're done (it toggles add/remove of the import). You don't have to leave your position in the file.

Interestingly, these qualities all apply to Go: - easier to read than write : it has been said a lot that go (esp. its error handling) was somewhat verbose, though very readable. - Not tricking the programmer : this one is a bit subjective,

I love this UI so much more than the original. Anyone knows if something like this exists for google groups? Both desktop and mobile UIs are horrible.
