A beginner is going to have a bad time with any language. Sure, 'nyi is not very descriptive, but an error message is not the place to teach total beginners. Unless you put some effort into learning a language (or already know somethin

It's a very good tutorial (it's not easy to find information about k7), but it is a bit outdated. For example, % is inverse and not sqrt now, and it is not possible to evaluate parsed trees with !. I am sure the differences are sm

The initial library was very based on Plan 9 and Inferno libraries. It was far of being a direct port (not even a derived work strictly speaking), but it certainly took a lot of inspiration.

That's precisely why I immediately thought of "nearly" meaning a bit more instead of a bit less. It is still no clear to me what makes "nearly" in this particular case to mean "less than". Curiously enough

You may be right, but your comment makes no difference from the ones many of us wrote after the first iPad: "what is this thing for? what problem does it solve that is not solved by a laptop or a phone?". And we were wrong, there

I agree with your criticism, but I don't get what is the problem with the first point (I am not a native speaker). Doesn't "nearly" just mean "close to" and not necessarily "less than"?

It was more a sincere question than a suggestion. I haven't written any serious Go since aliases were added and have never had any need for them so far.

You don't understand that many people prefer interacting with other people in person instead of via a slack channel? You can like your remote job. I agree there are ways to make it work, for certain people and certain jobs, and it can

Could you work around this somehow using a combination of internal packages and type aliases in public packages?

It's not always about projects. In order to be productive at a company, there is much more to do. In water cooler conversations, you learn who you have to talk with for this or that, you learn about meetings you may attend to learn new

I made it in 2010: https://bitbucket.org/yiyus/ngaro/src As I said in another comment, it won't work now because Go had not yet reached 1.0 at that time, but it should be easy to get it working again.

Some years ago, I ported ngaro (the retroForth vm) to Go, and made it possible to launch goroutines and use channels. It was very cool. However, it was Go pre-1.0, so it won't work now. For a while, it was maintained by Charles Childer

Using "|" can be confusing when the sed command is part of a pipeline. I agree with the other user that the comma character is more used. It is slightly easier to type too.

Trying any solution at all, even when it is very likely it will not work, may not be a sustainable approach at all. I agree something should be done to clean up, but that does not mean we should try any crazy idea (I do not have the experti

I am quite sure the reason my comment is at top is not because other readers appreciate my tone (which I don't find aggressive, although I admit it could be nicer) but because of the link.

There is not a single example in the README. I checked the step-by-step guide, but it starts with installation and documentation instructions, then imports, and I don't know yet how the language feels like. Ok, let's check that ha

You were talking, and I quote you, about "major European cities". You can easily reach most major European cities from 30km away in less than 1 hour using public transport, also after 8pm. Most middle size cities are also quite we

I would not call Madrid's public transportation network fragile. Not at all. For most practical cases, public transport won't take longer than if you need to park a car.

Treating users like idiots is a common engineering practice, not only in programming. Assuming users only make intelligent choices is just unrealistic. It is not that you underestimate any particular person. You may argue if Go finds the ri

In general, you can implement anything with any programming language. Having a particular nice syntax (and semantics) usually is what makes a language better suited than another one.
