errcheck seems very sensible.

Adding a try{...} with an empty catch{} takes a lot more effort than simply forgetting to do something with an error return value.

by hot_gril 2y ago
Try-catch is awful if you're forcing it in a language that doesn't really support it. I provided a JS try-catch example above; is there something wrong with it? The recover is still function-wide in your example, which is what I s

Well ok, you can draw the similarity in how they both automatically bubble up. But the catching behavior is different, and they look different. Overall they weren't designed for similar uses.
485.
by hot_gril 2y ago
It's different syntax, less convenient, and less obvious what you're try-catching. Also you can't scope it to just part of the function. func outer() { defer catch() { if r := recover(); r != nil {

It's a problem for values of all types, which is why exceptions are usually handled specially in other languages. I get that it seems impure, but everything you call has some way to fail <1% of the time that you probably want to han

What's imposed on a Golang user is two choices, panic/recover or regular error handling, and almost always you take the latter. There's no option of using exceptions the same way you would in most other languages.
488.
by hot_gril 2y ago
Golang programmers indeed don't prefer panic/recover, but that's not comparable to exceptions in other languages.
489.
by hot_gril 2y ago
I understand how to use them in Golang, it's just annoying to have to keep checking and returning errors everywhere.

by hot_gril 2y ago
Since the boat has already sailed for Golang having async/await from the start, adding it now would require maintaining compatibility with uncolored functions. Waiting for a channel to have data from a go func is similar. JS has simila

by hot_gril 2y ago
This is confusing, so I'll put it this way, Golang doesn't have exceptions the way someone coming from Javascript, Java, Python, ObjC... would understand: thrown anywhere and automatically propagated up the call stack unless caugh

by hot_gril 2y ago
That's right. So if Golang wanted to do async/await, it would probably be in a fully parallel way.
493.
by hot_gril 2y ago
async/await is just syntax. There's nothing saying that two async calls can't run fully in parallel. "Blocking" is subjective too; in a way even JS is doing some parallelism.
494.
by hot_gril 2y ago
Golang should have async/await and exceptions, both of which can be implemented as syntactic sugar on top of existing features.

It's legal to fly with guns in checked bags, but I don't know the specifics of the interaction with the driver.

I don't agree with this, but gotta hand it to them, the WWE thing is funny and well-done.

Regardless of whether the Waymo is supervised, they're brand-new cars, of course they'll be cleaner.

Was there a law against being armed in the airport dropoff/pickup area there?

Yeah, I've ridden with two cool drivers with history degrees, one jazz musician from Ethiopia, and one who I'd already met elsewhere. Zero interest in riding in a Waymo. (Disclaimer: Alphabet shareholder)

I remember there being dev mode and also a glitch, but I could be wrong and don't have a Tiger machine to test with now.

He mentions the old Dashboard ball widget. There was a glitch you could use to put widgets onto your desktop instead, so naturally every school Mac had 20 bouncy balls on it.

I took Lion King to mean not to take your family for granted, and I'm fine with it. The other Disney prince/princess movies don't really have messages other than "you can have your cake and eat it too." Like, whenev

I agree for reading. The example of Cinderella's sisters chopping her feet isn't too much for a child to read about, but nobody wants to watch that in an animated film. There's also a point where books become unsuitable for c

The only thing I seriously plan to use Golang for is implementing a scripting language in my spare time. Its threading model (greenthreads flexibly mapped to OS threads) is attractive for that.
