@davidcrawshaw @enneff @mraleph @krarick However, back to the point, where is the practical benefit of the go programming language?

@dibblego @enneff @mraleph @krarick go: pointers, gc, readable code that does what it says, easy tooling, small spec, portable, fast enough.

@davidcrawshaw @enneff @mraleph @krarick You at least understand how this is totally uncompelling (and not even entirely true), right?

@dibblego @enneff @mraleph @krarick if those features don't interest you Go is not for you. Fortunately I find those features compelling.

@davidcrawshaw @enneff @mraleph @krarick If someone today told you the benefits of bloodletting were to alleviate pain, how would you reply?

@dibblego @davidcrawshaw @enneff there've been double blind experiments showing that similarly qualified devs are less productive in Go?

@mraleph @davidcrawshaw @enneff WTF?

@dibblego @davidcrawshaw @enneff well, we are still talking about Go ignoring "decades of programming language research", right?
