I'm a backend guy trying to learn front-end, so it was a calculator to be done in Spring, should use rest and I'd get extra points for integrating with RabbitMQ.

I have this wet nerdy dream where Linus Torvalds decides git and scuba diving sw is not enough legacy. Hence he goes on developing a better programming language, plus a full office suite that internally uses restructedText 2.0.

I come from Java and I never understand this demand for generics in GOlang community. In Java I don't remember the last time I use generics.

The one tiny drawback is that the globals have to be variables instead of constants, but that’s one of those problems that really only exists in the theoretical realm. I’ve never seen a bug from someone overwriting a global variable like this, that is intended to be immutable.

All my code is tested for both leaks and all scenarios. None of my code ever have gone bang in production. To be honest, no service I have written ever restarted outside system reboots or configuration changes.

Was the concept of generics a thing before Java implemented it? That is, could they have known?

I can't imagine being a programmer without starting out by becoming proficient in assembler. It takes a lot of mystery out of programming languages because you know whatever the syntax is it all ends up as branches, calls, stacks, registers and memory accesses.

Last year I was working on a project and I used C# [..] even though I knew Go would be a better choice. I spent 2 days creating the program and it could process all our files/data in about 40+ minutes. I then spent the next day rewriting it in Go which could process everything in about 1 minute.

V functions are pure by default, meaning that their return values are a function of their arguments only, and their evaluation has no side effects (besides I/O).

I will never return back to Node.JS after writing Go

I think that "generics" in general are a trap, a lot like object oriented programming, or that functional programming ideal of a -> a functions, functions that work with any type.

This is the truth. In the “middle-America” of software development, where your team are average, Go is the right choice almost always.

Yes, obviously, there was something fishy with the Rust implementations. Did I took the time to find it? No, after spending an afternoon I decide to just use Go and call it a day.

We simply don't have better kernels. POSIX is the epitome of infrastructure. That's it. We did it. It's like asking for something more than Turing completeness - we have everything.

The assumption, then, is that the coder that did manual memory management did so better than the GC could. But some very brilliant computer scientists developed the garbage collector for Go, and beating it is nontrivial.

"Who'd have known that generic strongly-typed containers would be so useful? :D" -"Certainly, not Rob Pike."

The fact that methods are not allowed to have generic type params is either the biggest mistake the Go team has done to the language, or the most ingenious move. It's kinda hard to decide.

I'd be curious about the overhead if the browser was running in kernel space.

I was just trying to explain these to my mother, in the context of rust.

Interfaces [in Go] cannot have generic methods because those would need to be instantiated at runtime, which would require runtime codegen.

Generics feel like OOP creeping back into popular programming culture.

I've got [a program] called 'heater' or similar that I used to warm up a macbook in a cold office.

Mark my words, another language will emerge in the future, with the specific goal of not having generics. It will be a nice, small, to the point, effective, and easy to read language. Then the people who are getting irritated with Go will start using it. First thing they will demand is generics…

Haha, many people (including me to some degree) would find [that YouTube renders HTML on the server] disgusting and really bad practice.
