I thought the genericists were the majority? It was the top most requested feature in the Go surveys for years.

I've coded Java, C#, and now Go and have spent years doing each. My experience differs from yours. Clearly our experiences differ and that's okay. I occasionally support Go and occasionally bash Go but really I don't have the

Enums in Go are inferior but that doesn't stop you from using them in the same way. Of course you can code gen using Go's tags. It's done all the time. As already pointed out, Go has the JFR it needs, not what Java has. Go do

Go does have some of these features: annotations, enums, JFR. They're just built for features of Go rather than Java. They're not the same but perform similar roles for the Go language. Error handling is subjective but I'm no

I'm interpreting your comment as, "Wikipedia isn't far right enough for my tastes." Is that accurate? Do you know of any examples where Wikipedia leans farther right than left?

For the sake of argument I'll say the way a desire comes into being has no bearing on making it good or bad. What is the implication of this with respect to advertising in your mental model?

So are you manually building a stack trace?

I'm on the opposite side of that fence. I'm looking forward to seeing what wonderful libraries can be created now that we have generics. It's going to be really interesting to see who's "right". Will the fear o

> Errors reach end users, and they cannot read stack traces. In general, users don't care about errors or stack traces. They don't want errors of any kind. As a developer I want users reporting errors, which can include a dense

That wasn't the greatest example as Go doesn't really have any way to represent it. If it did it might be something like this. type MyStruct struct { Name string } var-not-nil myStruct = &MyStruct{"Hello&quot

Or, if history is a guide, there will be a few really nice generic libraries written and a sizable minority of developers will adopt them as pseudo standard to fill the void. Then the Go team will do what they want, fracture the community,

Java (and C# and C++) have become kitchen sink sink languages. Everything is just thrown in. That makes it less productive for me. I've decided I don't want to carry around that much in my head all the time in order to read somebo

I have this cover on my wall too. I believe it was from extra copies that FIG or Forth Dimensions had. I see it every day. There was another version I'd seen that had a bit more color and stars in the background. Not sure whose that wa

No, it's not. It's just being dismissive because your wants are being met by the current state.

You're probably right. I use Goland and I just think of it as a natural extension to Go. I shouldn't.

The lack of an ordered map keep me using slices where I'd otherwise reach for a map. This is one of the things I'm looking forward to once generics are in Go.

Infix notation with all the parens is the primary reason I never got comfortable with the lisps. My mind never worked like that. So I really believe there are valid personal preferences that keep people from liking languages right from the

True, but what other languages or other anythings are doing is at best irrelevant and at worst the entire point.
