Given that is well known Go was developed mainly in a 64bit environment and that the 64bit compilers produce much faster code and have been much more tested than the 32bit toolchain, to the point that some people have complained that Go fav

You have to understand that the IP industry sees public domain content as competition, they want to restrict the amount of stuff in the public domain as much as possible. Also, if people get used to things being in the public domain, they m

Just a note: The Go distribution itself is full of great examples of Go code, including several uses of the template package, for example in godoc. Don't be afraid to read the code in the stdlib, is very readable.

The point of patents is not to protect anyone, but to encourage innovation. It has become quite clear that patents make innovation harder (is impossible to create anything anymore without taking a big risk of infringing someone else's pat

Patents are artificial government granted monopolies. Such monopolies are in no way good for consumers.

Just because data is in a text stream doesn't mean it is not structured. Awk is designed to handle structured text for example, the output of most (traditional) Unix tools is 'structured' too (eg., ls and ps). I recommend you read The Unix

UI programming doesn't need to be callback heavy. Rob Pike designed one of the spiritual ancestors of Go, Squeak ( http://doc.cat-v.org/bell_labs/squeak/ ) using the CSP model of concurrency specially to build (G)UIs.

If panic/recover is the same as exceptions, why does everyone whine about the lack of exceptions? The fact is that while in theory panic/recover are mostly equivalent to exceptions, in practice they are very, very different. Panic is only u

I have met Shapiro and he is a very nice and smart guy, but I find it rather shocking that somebody could invest so much time and effort in designing new language before building a library to do something as fundamental as I/O. Is interesti
