every language is getting more functional. lambdas/listcomps/generators and infinite lists are being added to languages like C++/javascript/python, while go eschews every advance in language design since 1960

When Go's designers said it ``feels like a dynamically typed, interpreted language'' they were talking about the run-time speed!
JavaScript is just another uninteresting proof of the fact that, given enough thrust, even a brick will fly. I'm sure that the amount of effort that has been applied to modern JS JITs and libraries exceeds Go by one or more orders of magnitude.

butthurt static typing faggot
common lisp is even faster than javascript, and its a hobby project with 0 corporate backing.
>>4 common lisp hobby project without corporate backing
Yes, that's probably why it was ANSI standardized. Because the hobbyists spent thousands of dollars and years of their free time to get their hobby language standardized.

Indeed. However, good Common Lisp code is AS FAST AS CEE. You don't even have to butcher your code (i.e. write lispy-looking Fortran): a few macros, compiler macros and type declarations are usually enough.

Why would someone dare to use a LISP for static typing?
also SBCL still cant tree shake

For speed and sometimes safety. also SBCL still cant tree shake
That's really only a minor inconvenience. Tree-shaking would be a good thing to have but it doesn't give significant speed penalties.

I agree, Rust is where it's at, they use every key on the keyboard for their syntax. No character is felt left out in that language. We should be doing more of that.

ask margaret rouse
she speaks fluent Geek, Biz-speak, Cloud, SAPanese, VAR, BI/BA, Storage, Security, Agile, Networking, SEO and marketing. she spends her days translating these highly specialized languages into plain English.

upgoats because i chortled, and because i'm sure they love go over there, given their track record of loving shit languages like FIOC and javashit
NOT
Networking, Abstract logic, creating DSL, real time processes, logic gates (I/O), HDL, et cetera...

Actually, they hate Go in there. Every Go submission got so downvoted that Uriel ran off crying to Hacker News, where nobody but Paul Graham, who doesn't post, can write a coherent argument against it, or any of the other shitty languages and ``BDFLs'' they adore by lack of ever opening a book.

You use Go when you want your own language to look better in benchmarks.

There's only Redittors here now, and the die hard shitposters, just like it was when I left for Reddit the last time. Don't get your hopes high, kid.
So, I've been studying Golang intensively. I must say the deeper you dig, the unpleasant it gets. It all seems very inconsistent. Hardly surprising given it's designed by the same people who gave you undefined behaviors. They had a clean slate to begin with, why can't they learn from old mistakes, theirs and other peoples? I will continue my study and I shall publish my findings anonymously.
