It is inconceivable that "if test then {.. } else { .. }" will be replaced
with "?test { ..} : { .. }" just as it is to consider changing red
octagonal stop signs to blue ovals. A massive, omnipresent change (such as
stop signs, power outlet plugs, which side of the road to drive on,
programming paradigms now natural to tens of millions of people, etc.)
needs an enormous motivation to be undertaken voluntarily--major problems
that must urgently be solved in the new way. Nothing in the email here
suggests anything more than personal preference and that is far too weak
for such a change even if the Go gods all liked it. This is a stewardship
issue.
