Have you ever installed Visual Studio? I have. Even just the build tools DOWNLOADS 1-2 GB, as other user mentioned, which is still 10 times what you get with other options.

I think I made my point known. Converting int to boolean is not a settled task, as different people might not agree on what the correct way is to do that. False could be zero, or negative one, or any negative number, or even one. So its bet

the number 9, is not the same thing as "true". some people may want it to be, it might be convenient for some people if a compiler treats them as the same thing, but they aren't. In my opinion, its an anti-pattern to have the

Cast int8 to int16 isn't the same thing as int to boolean. In the first case, you get the same number (ignoring wrapping issues). In the second case, you're asking the compiler to make an arbitrary decision about what numbers go t
262.
by svnpenn 4y ago
not really. Go has no concept of truthy: https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Glossary/Truthy and I fully support that decision. If you want to use a boolean, you need to be explicit about it.

In regards to Go, in most cases its a pointless optimization. Unless the string is quite large, its the same result. Go is nothing like C# in this case.

personally I don't see a need for it, but I'm sure someone will do something dumb that requires it

by svnpenn 4y ago
Yeah, you cant do that in Go, even explicitly: // cannot convert i (variable of type int) to type bool bool(i) youd need to use a function: func to_bool(i int) bool { return i != 0 }

thats a semantic argument. "source available" is in practice the same thing as "open source", unless you are a business trying to make money off free software.
