Sad that Go and Dart will likely beat Rust and TypeScript with worse tech simply because Google's brand is better than Mozilla and MS
@tqbf what's compelling about Go besides Google's brand? A fast compiler and static linking, but I can get that with C...

@bascule You don’t have to like or pay attention to Golang; it’s pragmatic to the expense of all else, sure. But why make shit up? -
@tqbf I'm honestly curious: why use Go? -
@bascule Almost as fast as C, better type system than C, memory safe, extremely excellent tooling. Case closed? -
@tqbf sounds like Rust... -
@bascule And when people start using Rust you’ll be on to the next beta language wondering why anyone bothers with Mozilla’s language. -
@tqbf I'm still using Ruby (unfashionable) and whining about people caring too much about language fashion. What are you talking abput? -
@bascule I like the guy who writes Ruby complaining about how the Golang coders aren’t using Rust. Seems legit.

@bascule That’s such a batshit question I don’t know how to reply to it. How exactly does Google’s brand help me? -
@tqbf I assume you like the community of Go users that Google's brand attracts. Why else are you using Go? Tell me -
@bascule Look at the community of people writing Golang and tell me what Google has to do with it. -
@tqbf they're all smart chaps but they're stuck in the Plan 9 days. I could ask the same question about Rust
