This kind of code clean up should be the job of IDE's, not compilers. Sadly, it looks like the Go authors have never heard of those.

Please do show how to do this in Go when you have a few minutes, I'm really curious (and happy to write it in Java once I see what you mean).

As much as I find LinkedIn's web site overloaded and hard to follow, unsubscribing from the emails is trivial. It's not just that they have a convenient "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of the email, you can actually use that link even if 1

I can't for the life of me find the connection that DHH is making between dependency injection and the fact that a language is dynamically or statically typed. These two concepts are completely orthogonal to each other.

These days, a language compiler is only a part of what makes a new language interesting: without tool support (IDE plug-ins) and extensive libraries, your language will go largely unnoticed. Wishing Stab good luck, the more languages, the b
