On: Another go at Go failed

[SideburnsOfDoom]

Yep, now I can see why this is trilema is "incomplete at best" - c# and other use what can be described as a mixture of these three approaches.

I was going to say that the c# compiler is fast enough despite this, but then I remembered that one of go's selling points is that the go compiler is blindingly fast compared to languages such as c#. Perhaps maintaining that performance with generics is a real issue.

Although any language with modules is fast enough, compared with C and C++.

Many old timers like myself can remember the blazing fast compile times of Modula-2 and Turbo Pascal compilers in MS-DOS systems.

Go compilers also lack a strong optimizer, which is tends to slow down compilation.
