We're talking about simple reflection here, pass in the value, infer the type and cast to that type. Most people are totally confused by generics, i personally don't have a problem using them or not. At the end of the day, its ju

by dana321 8y ago
Well, what was the point of adding std::any in C++17? Generics aren't a cure-all, they merely duplicate code and change the type. Its not much better than copy-paste and replace the type names.

using interface{} and reflect is good enough for the many problems of using X datatype

by dana321 8y ago
interface{} is the equivalent of C++17's std::any, of which you can put anything including vector (slice) and maps. If you really want high performance with many different types of a function, its a case of copy-paste-modifying your co

Cause and effect are simple to discern with one variable (like pushing a ball), with multiple variables everything becomes increasingly complicated. Kind of why drugs don't work in the same way with everyone. Too many subtle differenc

I would have to re-arrange my call stack so that the read or write functions would be inside the open statement, then it would close it at the end anyway so its kind of pointless for my uses. I try and totally avoid panics and never throw t

Sorry, but for me its not a great method of releasing resources. I tend to (for example) open a connection in one function, do something with it in another function, close it in another. I'm not writing traditional go programs, i wrap

Eating fruit and raw vegetables for me does make me feel good and brings about a feel of wellbeing. Whether thats the sugar or the other nutrients that they bring i don't know. Its not really news, i agree, but to a lot of people it i

Its all about: Syntax Libraries Runtime I picked syntax briefly, because i think its the most important part of the language. The libraries can be written, the runtime improved but if the syntax is bad its hard to change it later.

I have evaluated Rust a while ago, before i updated my C++ skills to C++17 with vcpkg / cmake and learned go using the new go modules functionality. I think rust is overly complex, and very quirky but.. It has some good ideas that i ha

I do myself now use go, i've developed a scripting language on top of go which has all the great features of the go runtime but it is interpreted instead. It has a few hundred commands and will eventually have the ability to modify its

Once Oracle bought Sun Microsystems, i became dis-interested in Java all round. I would rather use a programming language not licensed by a huge corporation. The reason they are a huge company is the way they are predatory towards their cu

linuxbrew / homebrew does a pretty good job at downloading packages and compiling them. The wildcard is cross-platform. vcpkg doesn't seem to be 100% there and has many bugs for example the folders where includes and libraries ar

If you look into the failure rate of apple products, the defects in things that all other manufacturers seem to get right then you begin to build a picture of how this is going to turn out.

Yeah, they've failed at every attempt of making a pure social network (they bought youtube, its a kind of social network) with Microsoft buying github, it would be prudent of them to buy Twitter before someone else does.
