    Native compilation which is fast enough, green threads, AST and analysis framework, in-built testing and profiling, call graphs, rewrite tooling (go fix), go.work and modules which…

    To add, less articulate and somewhat overtly anti-intellectual. Why even learn something when you can ask the slot machine?

    It's always hyping up something and throwing punch lines in every sentence. Normies love this shit.

    A (lexically-scoped) defer is a more general than a finally block. You can express finally-block semantics using defer. It's also more exception-safe when you have more than one th…

    Map/Filter/Reduce is a bad example for an imperative language. But look at slices and maps packages, or the new proposal for container types. There are many good examples how gener…

    Sure it's a bad example. But you can't simplify something like this without losing type safety: SortBy[T, K comparable](slice: []T, key: func (T) K)

    In terms of tooling, Go is one of the few languages which remembers that we are in STEM.

    Comprehensions are way cleaner and more optimizable for the common case.

    That makes it even more interesting. There are now two possibilities. 1. Most business leaders have quietly turned "anti-woke" because of the performative and loud rhetoric, and DH…

    Map function leads to poor code in Go. Function literals are verbose and inlining is far less agressive. It simply isn't the way of the language. Even python shuns map and filter i…
