I agree with you on all counts, but it's worth highlighting that the parent did not call the designers dumb, but rather the situation and implementation. I know it can seem like a distinction without a difference, but I think it's

In the average case, it's generally not an issue, but in a game loop, i could see it being a source of issues. It's really easy to make a mistake and accidentally make a copy of a reference, or obfuscate any conversions...which, I

I agree that there's some default amount of boilerplate that needs to be written -- but one isn't impeded by that -- it's just built into the task. An impedance would be something to adjust the status quo in a negative direct

Possibly yes, if you're only contrasting it with being able to be faster. I mean, it's sort of a false dichotomy -- it's omitting a "default speed" for writing boilerplate that is neither enhanced nor impeded. the p

No, they didn't adopt pkg/errors into the stdlib. pkg/errors did get updated to work nicely with the changes that they did incorporate https://pkg.go.dev/errors

eh, go mod isn't the great example...the community was pretty fractured before that. I'd personally adopted dep right before they announced the intention to build modules...so that was kind of frustrating. in the long run i think

the proposal isn't to not implement them at all, it's to not immediately incorporate them in a way that they're permanently frozen. they'll implement them in some versioned package that everyone can adopt and play with,

I think they've been worse about this w.r.t. tooling (dep comes to mind. The closest thing I can think of along this path for the standard library would be how they've handled errors, and deciding to go their own way instead of a

It depends on your definition of "work" -- the impairments will not be impacted, but you can learn a lot of coping strategies to live a higher quality life.

You're not wrong - but it's maybe not great to distract from the predatory nature of targeting people that are at high risk of being exploited from this model. It's bad all around, but it's extra bad for people with ad
