* Their implementation sucks so much that most decently built concurrency implementation will beat Go-routines by a wide margin. Just have a look at all those people on the Go mail…

Did you ever actually use Go for a few minutes? Most of these bullet points are plain wrong.

Sort is just one instance where one can work around Go's limitations, this is not repeatable in general.

I think Google already had a lot fun with Oracle while not using their code. If you fork, be prepared for a patent-infringement lawsuit as soon as you earn some money with it. I'm …

The problem is that nobody trusts Oracle. Have a look at what happened to Google. Their code didn't even originate from Oracle and they still got sued for made-up, bullshit reasons…

I think the key point you are missing is developer productivity. Every potential performance gain C++ might have is completely negated by having to touch that complete clusterfuck …

Yes. The first slide basically guaranteed that I will never look into this project. The risk of touching anything Oracle-related is not worth the potential benefit.

Wrong, wrong, wrong and wrong.

It uses exactly as much memory as you specify. It would be pretty stupid to have plenty of RAM and NOT using it. With enough memory GC becomes essentially free, by not having to do…

It has gotten a lot better on all fronts.

Me too. This and all those Go fanboys make me really embarrassed of my profession.

This blog post is extremely vague and handwavy. Looking into the actual source code didn't reveal anything “special” either, so I'll just call bullshit on these claims. Feel free t…

That's my impression too. The lone sysadmin who has to hack something up and moves on to other work likes Go; real developers who work in teams and have to maintain their codebase …

OO subtyping is hard to reason about formally in formal systems _in general_.

Eh... what exactly is "lightweight" about your threads? As far as I see you still use the same, standard JVM threads everyone uses, combined with a thread pool. What am I missing?
