On: Lies we tell ourselves to keep using Golang (2022)

[voidUpdate]

I really wanted to like go, and I tried to write a discord bot using it, but the very opinionated brace style (which isn't the one I prefer to use), and the fact that I struggled to much to try and split my code across two files kinda turned me off it. In the end I just went back to python

Of all the things you can complain about the language, how could you choose the thing that Go got right? It's K&R style is probably the best.

Python has the most opinionated brace style though

[josefx → chikere232]

You can abuse list comprehensions to enclose your code in [ ] instead of having to deal with all that whitespace.

oh that's evil :)

Genuinely curious, why am I being downvoted? Did I say something wrong?

[WesolyKubeczek → voidUpdate]

Probably just your opinion being shallow.

I mean, come on, coming to Go and of all things complaining about brace style? Coming to Python and of all things complain about syntactically significant whitespace? Coming to Lisp and complaining about parentheses? This is so old.
