The Go programming language

Name: Anonymous 2011-01-22 23:02

So I played a little bit with http://golang.org and I must say I like it. So please tell me why it is shit because I know /prog/ knows better.

THE FORCED CAPITALIZATION OF EXPORTED SYMBOLS.? Sounds retarded: I'm imagining all sorts of problems between case sensitive and case insensitive platforms.

It is retarded.
When you want to use some module, you'd need to do
Func(ExportedSymbol, my_local_symbol(Exported));
my_function(YourValue);
MyExported(YourExported, my_local);

It's multicase crapfest.

What ever shall we do on systems where bit 5 is masked on all the registers? It was that or some comment about doing all symbol lookups using the filesystem.

>>45
It's not that bad in my opinion, but I'd rather use a qualifier though, or even take something from C++ and use a section. Perl's solution is nice too, declarations start with short (usually 2 or 3) letter keywords.

They went too far on the "no qualifiers" thing but I guess they blamed C for the Java and C# mess.

They could make something like CL or Racket or some other Scheme implementation here and make a fucking sane package/module system. In fact, ``Go'' takes nothing from Lisp, whereas almost all the programming languages out there are taking ideas from it, even Sepplecocks with lambdas.

Protip: The Go compilers are case-sensitive on all platforms. Just like C compilers.

One word: The forced capitalization of exported symbols.

I'll probably stick with Haskell as my "heavy lifting" language (and C for system software/trivial things that need to go fast).

Still, I don't see any reason to despise Go outright, and if it becomes popular it might be more tolerable than the current host of popular mid-level languages. The loss of low-level control will be intolerable for some highly skilled C/Assembly programmers, but in general it's better to not give the retards too much to shoot themselves in the foot with.

Overall, I'd take it over Java for a mediocre general-purpose language, but nothing more. The low-level guys will still have C, and the functional nerds still have Haskell/Scheme.

I don't think it brings much new to the table.
It has light-weight threads and channels, which isn't really my preferred concurrency paradigm. And it compiles faster than C++, which is almost a tautology.
I think it might be geared toward servers/services, but then why not use Erlang?

Erlang is RUBY AS FUCK

It doesn't actually solve a problem. Soon you may be able to use it for Android, which would be preferable to Java. Then again, soon you may be able to use CLR/whatever for Android, which would be preferable to Go, since you could pick your poison.

There's still the matter of performance, but Go has yet to beat the least-awful JVMs--I would think that includes Android's. ARM chips make this situation worse; many of them will run bytecode directly. It's not quite a JVM-on-chip, but Go already compiles to native code so there's no room to accelerate it in the CPU.

Go is great.

A statically-typed language that isn't either verbose or frustrating.
Good concurrency support.
Sane, minimal syntax.
Simple type system.
Consistent style.
Control over allocations, lets you write efficient code.

I use it for everything now.

Go: no exceptions.
That's so 1960.

ONE WORD: import { "fmt" "os" }; func main () { fmt.Printf("THE FORCED CAPITALIZATION OF EXPORTED SYMBOLS"); fmt.Printf("THE FORCED STRINGIZATION OF IMPORTED MODULES"); os.Stdout.WriteString("THREAD OVER"); }

Of course not, but these are the more stupid ones, therefore memeable.
