I haven't heard anyone, including the go authors, say that generics are bad and you absolutely don't need them in Go. Personally I like Go a lot and don't miss generics much, but for some things I'd love to use generics

It looks really nicely done. I'm not sure I'll use it over the local playground that's bundled in my editor though.

The Sierpinski triangle was what made me realise I have some talent as a programmer and is part to blame for my career: When I was about 11 (mid 80s) our school got a shining new computer lab with original IBM 8086 PCs, and one teacher impr

I'm looking at an executable of a medium program I'm working on, probably around 5k LOC of my own code, using tons of standard library modules and linking to probably another 10-20k LOC of 3rd party libraries, all debug symbols in

Gedit is also very nice and has some pretty good plugins.

Tornado made async code slightly less painful by using yield and coroutines, but you still have to run blocking methods on thread pools using futures. They abstracted it really nicely and I can now write clean code if I need an occasional b

I learned Pascal when I was in my teens (not my first language, but the first "serious" one after Basic and LOGO) so to me it's always associated with my childish hacking attempts and very bad code IN ALL CAPS. I remember a c

Simple - it has many other virtues that outweigh this even if you need it. I'm writing a lot of production Go code, and I'm very happy about the language. I wouldn't put generics at the top of my wish list but at times I wish

I wonder what a survey of real Go users about generics would show. I'm betting an overwhelming majority would like that.

by dvirsky 12y ago
There already exist such tools, and especially now with go-generate in 1.4 it's become easier to do that. But we need deeper integration for them, like gocode completion being able to work on the generic files, linters that can lint a

Did you ask for anyone to look at your CV and help you improve it maybe? For what it's worth, I'm not in HR but I interview a lot of people and see a lot of CVs (not hiring currently though). You can send me your CV privately if y

Awesome talk (I've seen only the first 15 minutes, gotta get back to work). BTW Although it's not a joke language and people actually use it (and some apparently like it), K was worth mentioning there right after APL.

This also creates a bias against older engineers. People assume that since they meet a lot of "dinosaurs" (in terms of technology) out there, 40+ engineers will probably be dinosaurs as well. Also, there's some unspoken assum

Just keep being good, learning new skills and liking what you do. I'll be 40 soon so I'll let you know if this tactic works out.

I'll be 40 next year, and this is indeed scary. I feel like only in the last couple of years I've become good as an engineer, and I'm still learning and evolving. I think I'm considered a high performer where I work. To

In general, the idea is that you build your dashboards in redash, but it would be a nice addition. Feel free to open a PR with an embed code, or at least opening an issue about it. BTW This is developed where I work (not by me) and is used
