Quoting robert engels (2018-12-02 01:43:45) > import * + type inference + dynamic language = hell
Can't have type inference without types, so it's just the dynamic bit, but I basically agree -- combined with the fact that you can do nonsense black magic with the import machinery at runtime in Python, it makes it that much worse; you can't even necessarily rely on your tools for figuring out where things are coming from. But the code isn't actually much more readable at a glance when people do it in Haskell; it is at least not *that* hard to track down an identifier due to there being a strong, static type system, but it is in my experience still universally easier to read code when there aren't wildcard imports. I will grant that probably having neither of these things makes wildcard imports less of a problem. But again, it seems like wildcard imports aren't the norm in Java anyway? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
