I used to hate Golang for not having generics and how verbose getting basic things done was. Then I read posts like this and realise, my god, Rob Pike was so, so right.
Do these people ever ship anything? Or is it just endless rearranging of deckchairs?
I already need a reference to read rust code, looks like I'll need a third reference sheet. The language is currently bordering on spaghetti
The most annoying part is that you can't just go to source code or docs and understand some code. I still can't do it after spending many years using it. You have to wade through 7 layers of macros and traits to understand some basic thing most of the time.
It is easier to understand musl-libc code compared to understanding a http library in rust which is just insane to me.
I mostly agree, however it wouldn't harm Go, even to get back some of the niceties of Limbo that it still misses.
