On: Russ Cox’s response to “Go Is Not a Community Driven Project”

I am curious why you even care about this conversation if you don't use Go.

I think OP has a point that perhaps could have been expressed more gracefully.

Maybe this is a reason why this person doesn't use Go? That'd be good enough reason to care, I'd reckon.

[eternalban → yellowapple]

Be serious.

[geezerjay → yellowapple]

Google's blanket dismissal of any criticism of Go's GOPATH design screwup pushed people away from adopting Go.

I am interested in programming languages (and especially module systems), and Go is a neat case. Plus, I've been following the antics of the ex-Bell Labs team for years.

[eternalban → mcguire]

In that case you possibly agree with my sentiment that Go 1.0 is 'World according to Pike' (with associated +/-).

And note that I wasn't being snippy at you. Some of us have invested literally a decade in this at times infuriating language and are loathe to see it 'normalized' due to social pressure.

[mcguire → eternalban]

I would very much agree with that description. :-)
