The real link: http://havelang.org/post/for_gophers/ So it's just Go with Python syntax: "Have syntax is inspired by Go and Python, but semantics is usually the same as in Go."

A lot of English words have been drained of their meaning in the past 150 years[1]. Now when people say "virtue" they almost exclusively mean "some morally positive quality" like patience, kindness, or diligence. But the

It's not so much that dollars are the problem, it's that there are more lucrative ways to store money, ways which actually get returns. Savings accounts today are just a slightly more secure way of hiding money under the bed. Wher

According to my dad, savings accounts used to actually be worth using when he was a kid. The interest rate meant you would actually earn a (relatively) substantial amount of money if you put extra cash in there and left it for 10 or 20 year

From a business point of view, that's an important goal. The more a user depends on your product, the more you stay in business. And the goal of a business is to survive indefinitely. But from a human perspective, I'd argue it&#x2

It used to be that every time you get an OS X upgrade, you can expect the OS to be faster, more stable, crash less, and have more actually useful features, both for developers and casual users. Those days ended with Snow Leopard. Of course

I'm far from a hipster. The pens I use are apparently called "uni-ball", which I got from Walmart, which is also where I got my $3 little pocket notepad. But I'm also not willing to spend large amounts of money to buy co

"Integrating with other devices" is not their goal. Selling desktops, laptops, monitors, phones, tablets, watches, keyboards, mice, trackpads, ear buds, and to a lesser extent subscription accounts, that's their goal. If they

This is the first version of Mac OS X that I'm 0% excited about. Literally none of the new features[1] are useful to me, considering: I don't have or want an iPhone I don't have or want an iPad I don't have or wa

After using Go for a few years, I've learned (the hard way) that Go does not separate the concepts of implementation details and the official language specification. The official implementation is the language, and they're insep

Meh. A good JSON library for Java can still make it fail fast and fail early, and using Java's reflection it can be pretty concise too.

The Clojure code is shorter, but that's almost entirely because it's dynamically typed. And that's not necessarily a benefit, either. Cheshire just takes JSON and turns it into plain old Clojure data (maps, vectors, strings o

Have you ever used IntelliJ IDEA? It seems to meet all your requirements: it looks and feels identical on all platforms with a JVM, it's very focused and "put together", and the layout just makes sense. In fact I only mention

I was under the impression modern JS interpreters JIT to machine code and are fast. Kind of like how Java was slow in 1995 but today is kind of amazingly fast. Which I guess implies that there are two ways a language can become fast: one is

Pretty sure GP was joking. But anyway, my favorite word to throw out there in fun little pedantic conversations like this = octopus, which ends up ! actually being octopi like most people think, but rather octopodes due to it being from Gre

Cool. https://powershell.org/ needs some work though. It screams WordPress 2008 website, and I'm not given any idea how to install or use it, or what it's good for, just by looking at the front page.

Because I'm definitely an individual user, and not a business. But on every page, Dropbox's website has a box, that either says: Dropbox Business is here! [Free Trial] or Dropbox Business is here! Only $12.

Yeah, that's not really optimism. But rhetoric is a powerful thing and can make pessimism seem like optimism, and Shalom knows that. Real optimism is waking up and saying "I have hope that this world can be a better place, all I h

I doubt it's actually helping them at all. If anything, they just don't notice, because their business is primarily made up of Dropbox for Business accounts, so even if a paid personal user like me leaves because it's that&#x

Look. As a non-business, I recognize the fact that Dropbox is useful for both personal users and businesses. But every, single, time, that I login to their website, they INSIST on suggesting "hey why don't you try Dropbox for Bu

<off-topic>Since when did Go use Github for official proposals? Does it also use the Github repo for official development or is it still just a mirror?</div>

Slightly off topic, but the previous blog post's embedded tweet isn't centered like it seems like it was meant to be. Just caught me off guard and figured I should mention it.

Why is nobody mentioning Clojure in this thread? I feel like Lisp kind of did win in the sense that Clojure is a reasonably sane Lisp that's gaining popularity and that lives on the JVM.
