There's a big misconception that the creators of go didn't want generics. They've stated a number of times that they didn't have a design that they all thought was adequate. After several years and attempts at a good

Growing up in rural New England, every now and then we'd have some moose wandering through. One jumped over my dads car, leaving a pretty significant dent. Moose walked away unphased. The thing to know about moose: they don't gi

It's much easier to appreciate the dirt roads when you're a tourist. Having grown up on a dirt road in New England, I can say that I'd much rather it were paved.

I think the big value is in learning to work with the AST itself, internalizing structure and representation. And how else are you supposed to enjoy SICP?

Learning different programming languages definitely helped expose me to new ideas, but I think it's a relatively shallow way to grow. There's only a few that I think are really worth learning for the sake of personal growth: - bo

go does have some support for dynamically loaded shared libraries. I haven't used it, so I can't speak to how good it is, or any pitfalls. https://pkg.go.dev/plugin

This is a good primer on the subject. One of the major projects I maintain at $work is an apache module, which has given me so much grief because of the fact that it gets dynamically loaded (and then unloaded, and then reloaded) It's b

as someone that's self taught, i really wish math was taught via stronly typed programming languages. Math is so full of loosey-goosey context dependent ambiguous notation. It makes it easy to have a very terse expression communicate

I mean, it's felt like anytime anyone mentions any code base not written in rust, someone pops in and points out that it's not safe , and should be rewritten in rust. I think it's all part of the language maturing process.
