I know, I'm kind of a party pooper, but My, Maria and Max are the names of Monty's children. Do you see the pattern? MySQL, MariaDB, MaxDB.

What you decry as "purist" and "established rules" is really just usability engineering for printed (resp. rendered on the screen) text.

I would go even further: how could they prove that they're not an NSA front?

> They are "better" in that they are, in fact, more constrained; only when the error case arises will there be any accessible error value; otherwise, the actual expected value will be found. Since go uses an ad hoc product type, you alw

Claiming sth is "better" requires two things to be comparable, and thus, reasonable similarity in their resp. nature. Claiming something is better than something else implies this similarity (otherwise any comparison would be moot), which I

Multiple return values are something completely different from sum types. Just because Go by convention returns errors as an additional return values where other languages prefer sum types, you shouldn't conflate the two.

The easiest way is just to keep your master always in a stable, clean state. Tools like git flow help with that. Besides that, people who criticize go get's behaviour of checking out the latest revision resp. the go1 or go1.1 tag (if availa

That's impossible because godoc cannot possibly know about all interfaces that is in all the Go code out there.

Everyone I know uses gc. The only reason why I once considered using gccgo was because gc isn't available on Solaris. Changed jobs in the end, though, so don't have to use Solaris anymore.

I don't dispute that segfault almost always means exploitability (I've seen friends write amazing exploits using only the slightest restricted memory corruptions). But the data races don't bother me at all, first of all you won't encounter

In raw performance, Go is relatively close to C. But since you keep mentioning latency: the garbage collector makes Go unsuitable for hard realtime applications.

Do you have any sources on the exploitable segfault claim, or is that just FUD?

You can always do something like go func() { ch <- foo }() then your normal program flow won't block. I guess that's what you mean by deadlock. If your program runs into an actual deadlock, the runtime will detect it, crash the

It's more like the anti-Scala, because can read other people's code within a few hours instead of shrugging for 6 months because they just stumbled upon yet another language feature.
