This is one of the reasons why I love Go, the language is designed to make both composition (with 'embedding') and interfaces (with 'static-ducktyping') very convenient and easy, while completely avoiding the inheritance minefield.

Lets hope it stays dead, seems that we just dodged a pretty nasty bullet. IndexDB seems to also be ridiculously complex, but as wicked as most standards are anything is better than SQL.

It is the author of this article who, despite claiming to have taught a course on XML, seems to misunderstand XML. I think one of the persons who best understood XML was Erik Naggum, or at least few have explained it so eloquently: http://

I do have some experience with Go. But what I would recommend is you get your own experience and come to your own conclusions. It is a simple enough language that doesn't take long to learn. That or you can listen to all the FUD from people

There are various companies outside Google that are using Go in production, if you read elsewhere in this thread somebody pointed out they had pretty much bet their starup on Go and they are using it as their main development language.

It also has gofmt which neatly takes care of pretty much any such arguments.

Java is the new COBOL, how anyone could think it is a good idea to write anything in it is beyond me.

This contains some good bits, but "The Unix Programming Environment" by Rob Pike and Brian Kernighan is a much more eloquent and concise explanation of the essence of the Unix philosophy.

This is one of the many reasons I love Go, gofmt takes care of almost all the silly style issues, and there is no need to learn any style guide, just run your code (or anyone's code) through gofmt, and you are done.

Me and many others that have used languages with "proper exceptions" for years are very happy that Go lacks them. Control flow in code with "proper exceptions" often becomes as convoluted as code using COMEFROM. While Go's approach to error

If you have actually used Go, you would realize that many of his demands display seriously lack of familiarity with the language. For example, he completely missed defer.
