Lack of real enums is one of my biggest annoyances with Go. So so many times I've put the wrong enum value in because it's just an int and it matches another set of enums. I've taken to putting each set of enums into a separa

I've used Go for both "web routing" and business logic apps and found it fairly nice. In what context and in what way do you find it a bad?

My first click was the link for "Accessing a value of an unexported identifier". Figured I'd see some reflection trick or similar. In looking at that code I still have no idea what it's doing in relation to accessing an

>> I wonder if there are any modern dialects? No there are not. It's extremely frustrating that Free Pascal and Delphi's Pascal are stuck with all the annoying baggage that more modern languages have been able to skip.

While I'm no great fan of Go's error handling, I've not found this to be an issue. The compiler yells at you if you forget. You'd have to explicitly ignore the error by underscoring it to "forget" it.

A large percent of the world has little to no money. They have no real choice except to accept free with all the consequences. Not using a service like facebook may not be realistic when the percentage of a group using it gets above a usefu

Yup, if setup and configuration were easy I doubt there would be a business. So the takeaway is to add chaos at that point.

I'm not understanding this. Are you saying an Option[V] would reduce the number of lines of code (the explosion) that Go code uses for "err := ...; if err == nil"?

Kudos. You've found a perfect solution that works for you and doesn't try to move society in a particular direction. Even better, you're not trying to stop others from moving society in their favored direction. Win-win, right

I would speculate no. It's not a well recognized degree and has little history or experience to back it up.

In looking at the CS curricilum this looks more like an extended bootcamp. Most regular university courses are not there, the credits/classes won't transfer to full universities, and you're left with a "degree" that

Go's embedding _is_ composition (has-a) in any other OO language but with a little sugar. Embedding allows the compiler to optimize the memory layout for a composed object and allows you to reference the composed object's fields w

This is tough to answer without a language in mind. Depending on what access you have you can use interfaces to get run time method binding or composition to get compile time binding. For either of these you'll have to "wire"
