It shouldn't affect compile times though. golang compile times arealready in a similar ballpark to Java (if not slower) for large codebases.

Not sure golang is readable compared to other more expressive statically typed languages like Java and C#.

What's quite sucky is that they will remain as standalone functions and not member functions, so you can't chain them (e.g. slice.Sort(...).Filter(...).Reduce(...))`. Not sure why golang is resistant to adding member functions to

Modern Java has lots of improvements that have gone into it, and should not be too dissimilar from C#. For example, it already has multi-line strings, the same as the ones being proposed here.

The reason is simple: the corrupt nature of the global financial system today, which is based on strictly immoral and parasitic practices such as money lending with interest, money printing, gambling (e.g put and call options), selling debt

The only non-parasitic loans are those given at 0% interest, which is inline with the three religions. Of course the follow up question is how would you run a bank or business that profits from loans? The answer is: you don't. Society

Loans (interest bearing ones) have been a known parasitic and immoral practice for thousands of years as they're prohibited in the three major religions (Islam Judaism, and Christianity). The sooner we get rid of for profit loans the b

It's only applied in certain specific situations. Again, justice is justice. "Middle ages" is non-conducive to the argument and just straw manning.

Justice is justice, and is required for a functioning society. We see where being overly lenient and not enforcing justice has caused us to end up.

It is definitely acceptable when the right conditions apply.

It was very obvious that it was not transitory. When are people going to stop trusting the fed? They've been toying with people's livelihood and printing money at will devaluing everyone's hard work to benefit a select few.

Different types of wealth have different Zakat values, and not all wealth is subject to Zakat (e.g. the value of your home does not count towards Zakat). For example, currency, including fiat, gold, silver and other precious metals, is at 2

Not necessarily. Secondly, banks and money lending are immoral and predatory. Usury is prohibited in the three major religions (Islam, Judaism, and Christianity), so we're better off without this dangerous practice. It goes hand in han
