i'm programming in Go now it feels like they've mashed the worst parts of C and Javascript syntax together, with the package dependency hell of early-2010s Ruby, and the elitist community of early-2000s Linux fanboys oh, and Google owns it
Don't forget the garbage collector from Java and the static linking of... 70s UNIX? Though, having worked at Google, I can see how it works for *them* in some contexts :-)
giving me a static binary i don't need to worry about is the only thing i, an amateur who doesn't write programs, like about Go
Static binaries are great for toy projects or for companies like Google who recompile and redeploy everything constantly. For everyone else, they are a huge security liability as dependencies get linked in and never updated. Patching a dependency means updating *all* dependents.
no, the garbage collector from Java is better actually. golang GC is worse than the canonical boehm collector, its throws in the trash one of the most non-controversial proved theories in computing science, the GC generational model
a GC shouldn't strive for throughput, that's stupid, a GC should keep predictable run-time to not adversely affect performance, I guess this is too much intelligency for google developers.
*from Java in 1996
The row about whether to use or not use GC in Go's ancestor happened around 1995,as GC was well known tech by that time.
There was a twitter thread a while back where people from the Go team talked about how initially nobody inside Google wanted to use it and they had to really push
