I upvoted you and the gp, but I also would like to point out that the useful answer often still arrives before the pendatic closure. Some of my own questions followed that route, without being dupe questions and while being a code-based suc

It's arguable that domestic violence is less cold and more passionate than the characteristics you're describing. I understand there are cold sadists, but speaking to the archetype. Additionally, in the case of a bigot, the outcom

I agree. I've sincerely asked for explanations what is missing when pattern matching is so similar to type inference. Combined with guard clauses and "let it fail" philosophy, what is the problem other than boilerplate? Is it

Have they considered rewriting it in Rust?

Do you have an article on this? I didn't know that was possible.

How does this relate to Go? That flew over my head.

My job has internal tool that reads MySQL schemas and outputs a CRUD golang api and json-based form uis to interact with them. I think it could be it's own product, but leadership doesn't care.

The nation who allows future North Korean dictators to be educated at their schools? I doubt it.

I'm not buying a lot of this "motif" usage stuff, but if you want to speak entirely speculatively, I'll bite. Marxism extensively argues that it is easiest to oppress people when you categorize them differently. An examp

This realization is what has attracted me to the Erlang/Elixir world where fault tolerance > provable correctness. The end user would rather have an application be frantically logging errors in the background, but be working for the

The problem is private banks, state run banks can pull all sorts of crazy tricks. Look up how the Bank of France lends the country of France money, which makes them much more self sufficient than the US and its sale of bonds instead. No ma

I'm pretty sure something like phone banks (in or out-bound) are filled with low-skill workers whose credentials would be valuable to data thieves. I've worked low wage jobs for the Government and Private Industry where we were hi

Many people don't get a bonus. If you have no benefits, an hourly wage, and no path for advancement, the only thing they can do is whine or fire you.

The first point is definitely a positive point for typing. The second I feel is by design. A runtime exception is better than undefined behavior, which was the other option when many of these more abstract languages started taking hold. We&

That line sent a chill down my spine. I'd hate to refactor those devs' work. Oh wait, that's my day job.

Can you give me an example of this? I'm genuinely wondering if I've just dodged a pain point so far. My other strongest languages are Golang and JavaScript, so I'm used to (duck-)typed and untyped approaches, and I've ne

I kept a real nasty implementation of this alive for the last two years while building a REST api and React frontend to replace it. I learned a good lesson, though: no logic in template files! Ever!

It's all relative. Plenty people come from Node, Ruby, and Python. Coming from the Go! world, I view Elixir is trade of speed for OTP out the box niceness. But comparing Elixir to Node, then you're just gaining speed and stability

The philosophy of Go, as far as I can tell, is opinionated simplicity. In this way, it is fantastic at concurrency. It gives you a simplified fork in goroutines, a way to safely pass by value or signal between these through channels, and st

My experience has been channels are a really good way to make highly concurrent code readable for people who hate concurrency (ymmv). They aren't as efficient, but using them as a semaphore (i.e. only signaling) can facilitate fairly-e

by chessturk 7y ago
As a fellow gopher, I agree, Go isn't trying to compete with C/C++ on performance, it's trying to give you safety and ease of use of high level language. I think the point about concurrency typifies this, channels aren'
