#114Generic methods are a huge win for the language. I've been waiting on these kinds of improvements to the type system before resuming work on my database toolkit.
I know this is an extremely unwelcome comment but I just have to ask… have you considered rust? Especially for a DB.
I just had excellent success migrating a go code base to rust completely AI driven. It led to a healthy performance boost too, as now I don’t need to worry about GC pressure contortions.

#115I love how proactive the crypto team is about post quantum. They released https://pkg.go.dev/crypto/mldsa . The lead maintainer Filippo Valsorda wrote a nice piece here[1] to urge the tech world to start deploying good enough versions of post quantum crypto. [1] https://words.filippo.io/crqc-timeline/
While I'm highly sympathetic to competing priorities crowding out movement to pq cryptography. At the same time it's not sudden at all. It's been 10 years since nist first said "move shit over"?

There's a reason for this. Rob Pike was asked about it and said that syntax highlighting reminds him of the bright colors of children's toys and he personally disables it so that he can focus on the text. I don't know why it's still like that but that's the original reasoning.
What is childish is holding up one guy's editor preferences as a religious sacrament when 99.9% of your readers have different preferences.
Well, there's kind of a precedent at least...

The .NET team have been similarly busy on post-quantum lately, it completely dominated the .NET API reviews for the dotnet 11 release. It seems there's a big push happening behind the scenes.
Ok, but when is it coming to our web browsers and email clients?
It’s been on by default for 2 years in Chrome.

It's funny that you and many others have found the introduction of "generics" in Go to be highly valuable, considering one of the motivations for Go's existence was:
Its designers were primarily motivated by their shared dislike of C++[0]
DDJ: In the presentation before the awarding of the Japan
Prize today, you were quoted on the distinction between
reasearch and development. [The former, Thompson stated,
was directionless, whereas development had a specific goal
in mind.] So in that context, is Go experimental?
KT: Yes. When the three of us [Thompson, Rob Pike, and
Robert Griesemer] got started, it was pure research. The
three of us got together and decided that we hated C++.

I want to downvote this for being one of the stupidest things I've read this week but you're just quoting it so I guess I'll just seethe silently.

Wow, that thread is a piece of work
> Gofmt was written to reduce the number of pointless discussions about code formatting. It succeeded admirably. I'm sad to say it had no effect whatsoever on the number of pointless discussions about syntax highlighting, or as I prefer to call it, spitzensparken blinkelichtzen.

I sincerely hope Rob Pike was being sarcastic/ironic, because otherwise, he sounds insufferable
