OK, go will never have generics (except that it does in "make", "range", "chan", ok whatever...). That's fine with me. But including even just a few suggestions in the parent article would make Go a more a

I think it's because of the built-in nature of message passing in the language. It's just easier to send around messages to processes. Hot code swapping would be possible with other JITed languages (BEAM isn't a JIT). Also si

I started out liking Go. It looked like a fairly pragmatic language. As I got deeper into my evaluation project (simple api stuff) it felt more and more like cutting wood with a dull saw. I started out liking Haskell too! But has I moved al

per issquareup.com "We’re still experiencing issues; however, we are seeing initial positive improvements in response to the steps we have taken to remove load from the affected service" Could this be a DoS of some kind?

We use Square as our point of sales system at our spa. We are biting our nails now since most of our sales are $75+ and people don't generally carry around that kind of cash anymore. Our iPad also suddenly got signed out of the POS app

Might as well write it from scratch without POSIX and all the lessons we've learned since then. I think rust opens the door to designing kernels that are small and tight with most of the OS stuff that was traditionally in kernel space

This is why passwordless designs are best and why I'm building new things without passwords. I think the future will be passwordless with biometric as a added layer of safety.

Maybe also think about donating to http://earthjustice.org . They are a non profit that fights cases in court to protect wild spaces, destructive legislation, and corporate rape of public lands.

My guess would be new intel cpus will be a paid upgrade for another $500 sometime next year. Apple will then abandon macs because they aren't moving ridiculously priced hardware. More likely is that apple is phasing out its pro line in

Close to 0%. It's still in development. I would love to see this development into a high performance alternative / complement to erlang.

It's great at IO. Period. Get a request, pipeline it, transform it, call out to a database, get some data back, fire off emails, talk to third party APIs.... All of those can be structured as processes. All of those can be independentl

In no particular order: No sane story for request contexts. I got tired of waiting for net/http support for x/net/context. Coercing Go structs into JSON and vice versus was just annoying enough. I felt like I was paying the

One of Go's selling points is always it's a pragmatic language. But after using it for awhile and implementing a few web apps and APIs in it. I've crossed it off my list for web app or API development. It's great at maki

It's almost comparable to Gin, which isn't slow by any means.

Why not let a bunch of third party HTTP libraries pop up. Eventually things will converge on the "best" library for doing http in rust. Open a discussion and start adding great third part libraries to the std lib. The challenge th

I'm curious as to why they chose to use a separate echo.Context. Why not create a type with an embedded io.ReaderCloser and a map[string]interface{}. Then replace the req.Body (it's a io.ReaderCloser) with the custom type. You cou

At least with printer drivers, OS X is a breeze. Plug in a printer, get a prompt asking to download driver, downloads in 10 seconds, installs and I'm printing in less than 3 minutes. No crapware. No fiddling in a terminal.

I don't have any particular loyalty either. But, in my opinion, and after taking considerable time looking into scala, it's not my preferred language. The syntax can quickly devolve into soup. It's entangled with Java too clo

Any plans for temporal support similar to what postgres does with range types and exclusion constraints? This would be a great addition to Rethink.
