I am glad logo on which we knows what animal is on it won.

Looks good, but if i wouldn’t know the origin, i might not know what this even is

I know this is dumb, but cute animal logos is the reason I refuse to learn Go.

Guess you’re stuck with C++

sentient_loom, 6 months ago

Right, the only other language.

DannyBoy, 6 months ago

Because it has an animal mascot that’s not cute.

Poor Keith. ;_;

sentient_loom, 6 months ago

I didn’t even know they has a mascot. And now my idiot-brain wants to learn c++ for a bad reason (on top of some good reasons).

That gopher is literally the reason I have been considering learning go. Same with plan 9.

janAkali, 6 months ago

IMO, go’s gopher is ugly, not cute. But, anyway, there are better reasons not to learn Go.

sentient_loom, 6 months ago

I’m curious to know those reasons. I’d like to pretend that I have a valid argument against Go.

For one - the error handling. Every codebase is filled with messy, hard to type:

<span style="color:#323232;">if err != nil {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    ...
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span>

And it doesn’t even give you a stack trace to debug the problem when an error happens, apparently.

Second reason - it lacks many features that are generally available in most other languages. Generics is the big one, but thankfully they added them in last half a year or so. In general Golang’s design principle is to implement only the required minimum.

And probably most important - Go is owned by Google, aka the “all seeing eye of Sauron”. There was recently a big controversy with them proposing adding an on-by-default telemetry to the compiler. And with the recent trend of enshittification, I wouldn’t trust google or any other mega-corporation.

sentient_loom, 6 months ago

Yeah the “owned by google” thing is a big turn-off. And telemetry… he’ll no. Also it’s weird that Go doesn’t have a ternary. It’s a small thing, but it’s a thing.

Honestly not sure what to make of think of this…
