I actually love HLASM, PL/I, and older versions of C++. C++ was a leader in OO programming, but imho, it's gotten so stupefyingly complicated that it's may not be humanly possible to write decent programs with it. Go sounds like a pretty good reset, but at this point, I only know what I've read about it.
It's name however, is horrible. Goo, Goog, or even G would have obviated much ambiguity. As it is, they may be stuck with Golang being the common name. sas On Sat, May 9, 2020 at 1:44 PM Charles Mills <charl...@mcn.org> wrote: > +1 > > Everyone here who likes the general idea of a C++ type of language (HLASM > and PL/I zealots need not apply!) but dislikes some or many of the > specifics of C++ should check out Go.
