It's interesting that this can be largely implemented oneself once type parameters are part of the language (as one thread commenter pointed out with `PointerOf(t T) *T`), I'm curious what other syntactical oddities become a thing

My bone to pick with this is in order to make a real dent in these problems, you have to be able to put down roots and live in a place for many years. San Francisco and the bay area generally are just too expensive (and frankly, too dangero

What would the goal be; for the compiler to warn if a type requires a method to be called on defer? What if you want to let the caller of the caller handle that? You would then need pragmas to silence the warning, which is something that th

The issue here is contexts were introduced after the API for `http.NewRequest()` was guaranteed to be stable, so there are in effect (2) different versions of the api, one without contexts and one with. IMHO it's a rock and a hard plac
