On: a[low:high:max] in Golang – A Rare Slice Trick

[Groxx]

"X for me but not for thee" is very much the vibe Go gives me, yeah.

I mean, I have completely replaced my adhoc Python use with it and I'm much happier. But it's terrifying to use to build large systems.

[ikiris → Groxx]

Part of it is that "large systems" are almost all combinations of small systems with proto boundaries, so it's not much of an actual risk unless you're making giant monolith code.

"Proto" meaning protobuffers?

[konart → andrewflnr]

I think it rather "communication via some protocol" in general.

In other words if we are not talking about giant monolith - we have N small systems to begin with.

[ikiris → konart]

I meant specifically protobuffers in that case, but sure, that works.
