As the primary author of Gorgonia[0], thank you for this. I've never read this. It's a fascinating read about the thought processes that go into creating TensorFlow. One particularly interesting thing is that it looks like Tensorf

Self-plug: Gorgonia[0] can support OpenCL as well (but time and effort is required to write support libs). Would appreciate contributions. I recently gave a talk on how to interface with foreign libs[1]. Writeup soon to come. [0]: https:&#

How is Go anti FP? It's anti-generic programming and I think that's a great idea. As a side note, there are a LOT of considerations that are implicit within a language when you do functional programming. Let me explain. Let's

Isn't this how any multiple returns are handled? Return a tuple. Then language supports allow splatting of it, that's all. What am I missing?

The benefits of defining interfaces at point of use is decoupling of dependencies. Imagine you have two packages: A and B. A defines interface Fooer and struct FooThing. Package B only requires anything that can call Foo(). But because the

Troll answer: but then where would people go if they want to show off their ability to talk in jargon like "applicatives", "arrow", "lenses"? Serious answer: Not really. Monads are more abstract than just conte

Should probably name them - makes it readable. But you are correct - duplicate interfaces are fine

Ah, that's why you write your abstract implementations in Haskell, and then rewrite them in Go ;P

> But I'm happy to hear a good justification of why it's important to have both structs and interfaces, if there is one. Performance is a good reason. If you are familiar with Java or C#, Go interfaces can be seen from one poin

the sort.Interface is an abstract data type. It's poorly named IMO. If it's called sort.Collection, it'd make more sense

I've got two: I write and prefer to write code in Go. But when I'm in my thinking mode, I like and use Haskell a lot. I find Haskell clears up your thinking a lot, but it's really not great for production work. Go on the othe
