If Go 2 is bringing us generics, then couldn't that `builtin` package provide real type signatures for the builtin functions instead of fake ones? Instead of func delete(m map[Type]Type1, key Type) it could have func Delet

You can't just use the docs at Apache Groovy's website because Jenkins pipeline uses a crippled version of Groovy -- none of the functional collections-based methods work.

I agree. The real problem is they're trying to add generics to Go and make Go 2 backwards-compatible with Go 1. Doing both generates the complexity, just like with Java 5. Generics in a language are good, but Go will cross the line f

The unintuitive part is the choice of operator `<<` instead of `>>`. in your example `f << g` means do `g` first (i.e. 2 + 4 = 6) then do `f` on the result (i.e. 6 * 3 = 18). I would have expected `f >> g` for this b

The dividing line between what's a language and what's the IDE is fairly arbitrary. E.g. a language could conceivably come with a tool chain that includes CLI-driven refactoring, and an "IDE" would only need to be a grap
