I like Go's simplicity and somehow I am attracted to it due to the some of its Oberon influences.
Now, everyone with a proper computer science background will immediatly see that all the features that are sold as Go unique features, are already available for long time in other languages, only not in C or to a certain extent C++. Go might eventually become a nice C sucessor, but it will never be able to replace C++, Java, D, or any other current languages that offer much better programming abstractions. -- Paulo "Jesse Phillips" <[email protected]> wrote in message news:[email protected]... > Andrei Alexandrescu Wrote: > >> http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/l3tk5/merging_in_the_gnu_d_language_compiler_to_gcc/ >> >> Andrei > > I like your comment about being in 1981.
