It just means that golang isn't anything special when it comes to writing tools like these, and is in the same ballpark as python and Java (it's somewhere in between the two of them, better than python but worse than Java), and yo

The original version of Docker was written in Python, and the original version of Kubernetes was written in Java, so your argument doesn't hold.

Correct, it's mainly to avoid intoxication and the ramifications that come out of it. However, I agree with what those students did. They have principles and they stuck to them. The alcohol could have mixed with the food for instance,

It's been proven what the dangers of alcohol are. Practically the only benefits are monetary for the seller.

"goroutines" is probably the only thing that golang has going for it. But today with async/await in languages like Rust and C#, C++ getting a coroutine implementation, and Java getting fibers, golang is no longer special in a

Not quite like structs. From my understanding, Java's inline types are immutable.

I know people in at least one of the companies you mentioned, and things look very different on the inside. They succeeded despite of the language, not because of it.

This is especially evident for those who used golang for non-trivial projects. Because the language has very poor support for abstractions and higher level constructs, you end up with much more verbose, brittle code that's harder to mo

Those are more the exception than the norm, and their decisions to do so come at significant costs.

This doesn't change the fact that lending with interest is inherently evil and parasitic, even in modern times. It is completely prohibited in Islam, and Jews don't lend each other with interest.

And those companies generally use C++, Java, etc. in a much larger capacity.

golang is not terser than Java for any non-trivial code bases, it's quite the opposite.

> Sports betting is illegal in my state, yet the poker games at my local casino... So gambling is still allowed in your state. I'm saying to ban it completely so the entire market is closed. It won't be too difficult to crack d

The fact that people lose money for no reason other than delusion that they're going to make a lot of money doing nothing is enough proof. Gambling is fundamentally immoral and parasitic.

Gambling is strictly harmful to society. There is no reason it should be permitted. It's quite straight forward.

> Don't legally recognize gambling debts. If people lose a bet they can pay it if they want to, but the law wouldn't recognize or enforce the debt. Correct, and you take it a step farther. People don't pay even if they wan

Then you crack down on such sites. It will prevent the vast majority of gambling from taking place, which will be a net plus on society.

I disagree with the excessive argument. The argument should be to completely ban gambling, because it's been proven to be a harmful practice on society, whether practiced in excess or not.

And this is why gambling should be banned. Just because a couple of people "agree" on something, doesn't make it rational or legal.
