Whenever credit is introduced, prices go up. No wonder why lending money with interest is prohibited in the major religions.

The real solution is to ban lending with interest. We have known that usurious lending is a parasitic practice for thousands of years, how did we not learn?

My experience has been otherwise, it's been extremely friction-inducing and I had to go out of my way to split up diffs into smaller ones in order to make it clear what was going on. A language like Java or C# would have just had a sin

In practice, golang is quite verbose (yes, more than Java) and its error handling is error prone. It has weak abstractions, and lack of proper enums also lend to more verbose and error prone code. Monitoring is poor compared to the JVM&#x2F

OP wants to avoid using golang, not to find a job where he can use it.

Even higher level programs are quite terrible in golang. It seems it's only good for small (usually networked) tools that can perhaps make use of concurrency.
254.
by apta 6y ago
I disagree. There is so much boilerplate involved with managing concurrency in golang compared to Java. It's very error prone in practice and difficult to extend and manage. golang has nothing remotely close to `java.util.concurrent`.

Once Java gets green threads (project Loom), it will be a no-brainer to pick it when the choice comes between it and golang. Even now, it's almost a no-brainer with superior features and GCs, including the new low latency ZGC.

Just go to upwork or similar sites and see how people are refusing to hire workers (including programmers) in CA because of AB5. This affected way more people than just drivers.

Them forcing Uber and Lyft to close down is socialism.

Or we can agree that both statements are wrong, and we should not wait and see the effects of allowing one over the other (we already are seeing dangerous effects however).

by apta 6y ago
Except now with AB5, those populations are at risk too.

It's shocking how shortsighted and out of touch with reality the CA government is.

They cannot be classified as employees to begin with. AB5 also harmed non-Uber/Lyft drivers, I came across several posts for programming gigs that said that they would not be able to accept offers from programmers in CA due to AB5. It&
