The issue with that is that anyone invested in Rust or Scala have no reason to want a better type system in Go. Fixing Go is as important to them as fixing COBOL, and I don't see H…

What I struggle to understand is: If that functionality is considered useful or even impeding the development process for those developing in Go, why has nobody forked the language…

Having used Rails seriously since it was originally made available as an open source project, I find myself agreeing with you less and less. It has really failed to stand the test …

Case IH and New Holland are both under the CNH (Fiat) umbrella, so at least you don't have to choose between them.

I imagine it is being primarily driven by the recent vast decline in the Canadian dollar. Just about all of the costs involved are going to be about 30% cheaper compared to a coupl…

I think you may be reading too much into the hypothetical implementation. It was highlighted as nothing more than syntax sugar, after all. If all you do is translate: template max(…

Okay, macros. Either way, it provides what most people are asking for in generics (not you, perhaps), even if the implementation isn't exactly pleasant. From a practical standpoint…
