> The new garbage collector may be enabled by setting GOEXPERIMENT=greenteagc at build time I don’t know if you’d count that as directly referring to it by name but it’s there.

I have wrapped my head around it. I think it's confusing to the reader and creates awkward semantics.

I do like the lack of extension functions. I find them confusing, especially when you can use them on things that are null.

I think they’re talking about powershells programming syntax which is much more sane than any Unix shell. There’s way less footguns and everything is typed. You’re not dealing with raw strings for everything. If you don’t like the Verb-Noun

I really enjoy embedding things in the vm. I run a discord bot with a few thousand users with embedded H2. Recently I’ve been looking at trying to embed keycloak (or something similar) for some other apps.

There is absolutely no chance I could show the enterprise spaghetti I work with to a domain expert and they would understand any of it.

That’s quite the false equivalence.

I honestly doubt a business person would be able to read Clojure. I’ve been programming for 15 years and it doesn’t make any sense to me.

I wish someone would have used keycloak at my place. They decided to write it all by hand instead.

Because it genuinely doesn’t matter. All of those companies are still making money.

You can do that in Java too. TeaVM, JavaFX, pick your poison.

I’m not misunderstanding. You weren’t making a point about _verbosity_ originally. You were talking about distinguishing errors you care about; which is perfectly possible, you don’t use the construct that says “I don’t care what error it i

You don't coerce it. You don't care in that situation. That's the whole point. You're saying you don't care and are going to use null. If you care, you don't use try! you do the more verbose catching: let

Not going to lie, my brain doesn't really comprehend lisp. So the joke (or point?) is way over my head.

I never said Windows should be the default. I implore you to please actually reread what I said and the article. Having to call into ffi to work with files on a major operating system is not normal. It is valid to criticize these decisions

Because that is clearly not the norm for webpages? You're picking deliberate low-tech html pages. HN and memeorandum are not representative of the internet at large. Honestly, man I don't care for this conversation. You do you bae

Do you interact with a lot of people using macs? I find that Mac users don’t maximize their windows. They leave them cluttered everywhere; all the people I know on Windows maximize their windows.

Sorry for the ambiguity. I have also had to write Scala in application code for those projects, but that's because the framework we used, Play, is written in Scala and it's Scala core leaks in many places where the Java compiler c
