This is equivalent to the semicolons in javascript debate. Pointless bike-shedding. You save 4 characters, big deal.

Exactly!!!! So much of objc programming is about maintaining internal state. Dot syntax and automatically synthesized properties just obfuscates whats actually going on. IMO you should always be accessing the ivar directly unless you have a

You've misread my comments and are trying to make them into something they're not. I wasn't calling you out for criticizing Go or trying to discuss its shortcomings. I was calling you out for being a dick to Enneff. I think m

> Should I just accept the same kind of answer we've had for 4 years on the Go webpage, and move on? Yes. Clearly its time to find another language that better suits your needs and is managed more to your liking.

Aren't you just kinda being a dick here? A go developer has directly responded to you multiple times, saying that this is a topic that they're actively researching. And you just keep replying with skepticism asking for actual proo

Your comments appear to be critiquing the existence of the notation itself. I'm not sure what you expect the alternative to be. Words are used to communicate concepts. Knowing the complexity of algorithms is important, correct? How wou

I don't think Messages.app converts emoticons into graphical smileys on the recipient's side. It's that the sender's text is autocorrected into emojis (which can be cancelled out of).

I'm just counter nitpicking at this point which isn't much better. > That native delivers a superior UI doesn't mean it delivers a superior UX. Sure, it doesn't necessitate a superior UX, but it certainly has an ef

If UX encompasses UI, how is saying that he wants 'the best possible user experience' incorrect? UI performance and bugginess has an effect on user experience.

What is your point here? This is a blog post celebrating the 4th anniversary of a programming language. Shame on them for being proud of what they created because other languages had a harder time?

You haven't addressed any of inclinedPlane's criticism of Brett's talk. Rather your entire comment seems to be variations on "There are people who irrationally dislike new technology."

The same reason, a normal person might decline $5 but accept $50 out of a pool of $100. 5% seems more unfair than 50%.

Why is buy.com a generic domain and therefore unbrandable but blogger.com brandable? Both are words in common usage and very relevant to their respective fields.

This is just a No True Scotsman argument. You've been given at least a dozen examples but none of them are "dominating" enough for you. Blogger, Dropbox, XVideos.
