I agree that that is not useful information. In general it's not too useful to start a thread with "here is an article I wrote." It's appropriate as a reply to a new thread about the topic. I suppose an article would be fine if it's a lead in to a proposal for some sort of change to the language or standard library, but not just as an explanation or discussion of where Go is today. More generally, if you have something to say (that wasn't written by an LLM), post it directly, don't link to an article. That's my view, anyhow. The list has done fairly well to date without a formal set of rules. I hope we can continue that. Ian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
