Wow, you worked on Napster? You mention the server was written in C++. Out of curiosity, do you know what the client was written in? I found a random forum post by an anonymous user that said it was written in Delphi.

Unfortunately, it seems that lies are being spread on both sides of the conflict. Reminds me of a Hadith: عن ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه أن الرسول عليه الصلاة و السلام قال : " لا بد للناس من إمارة برَّة أو فاجرة ، فأما البرَّة فتعدل في القس

I think the parent poster was being sarcastic :)

Makes sense, thanks for your answer :)

Yep I get that point. However, how would you avoid extra allocations and maintain safety (no nulls)?

Out of curiosity, how would you rather have them be implemented? You either return an Option, or you will have to deal with null pointers.

pthreads?

What happens in that case? Does it get sold to the next real bidder?

Fair point, but unrelated to my question :)

Can't you mix C# and F# in the same project though?

> For the most part, it does as well as C does. Which isn't saying much really :) There is absolutely no way to force you to handle errors in Go.

> The best part of Go is the fact that it forces error checking. Except that it doesn't. Otherwise you would be forced to check the return type of fmt.Printf() and gang.

What does Dubai (a city) have to do with India (a country)? Plus, you're comparing homosexual to heterosexual relations. Having lived in Dubai, I know of plenty of people who had sexual relationships without being married (not that I a

Out of curiosity, what problems does C++ solve that D and Rust do not? As far as I know, both aim to be in the exactly same space as C++.

Indeed. Plus, I have never read a convincing response from the Go authors as to why they included null in the type system.
