This is an instance we have never federated making a defederation post about us. You can search the instances page, we’ve never linked with a kbin instance. we’ve never interacted with kbin users. we don’t even have to dunk on them for our posting power to overwhelm.
I feel that discussing Go is very much a “a vote for Bart is a vote for anarchy” situation. All those are perfectly valid points. But in the end do they really matter in day-to-day situations?
Personally I’m willing to forgive a lot of interesting design choices for all the other benefits the language has. Super-fast compile times, massive standard library that’s automatically multithreaded, the elegant simple beauty that is the channel system, one enforced style that helps readability of others’ code, easy cross-compilation, memory safety, C-like syntax that’s easy to pick up, etc etc etc.
personally the tedium of writing the same code over and over again + the inability to express invariants to the compiler so it can check my work for me is just plain worth more to me. I’m too dumb and ADHD for it.
