I had this discussion with another Gopher about the difference between Delete and Remove.
I found this definition which I agree on: *"Delete <http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/delete>* and *remove <http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/remove>* are defined quite similarly, but the main difference between them is that *delete* means *erase* (i.e. rendered nonexistent or nonrecoverable), while *remove* connotes *take away and set aside* (but kept in existence)." Translated to computer terms, remove would be to flag it/hide it, while delete would be to delete it from disk/erease it. But then he mentioned: https://golang.org/pkg/os/#Remove I don't expect the os.Remove* funcs to ever be renamed, but wouldn't it be more precise if they were named os.Delete etc.? bep -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
