Go 1.11.5 and Go 1.10.8 are released

Re:Go 1.11.5 and Go 1.10.8 are released by marcrosoft on Wednesday January 23, 2019 @09:46PM (#18985556)

Edit: the message starts off with "Hi gophers".

I'm not a "gopher".

Does this label bother anyone else? I love the go programming language but I'm definitely not on board with this.

I happen to be a software developer who found effectiveness and value in Go and will continue to use it as long as it proves effective. That is all.

they tried to be cheeky. is ignoring that a problem sufficiently inconveniencing you that it requires a post on a forum?

I know they mean well. I'm just wondering if anyone else feels the same way I do.

It could be worse. You could be a "rustacean."

Back in the 70s, Peugeot, Renault, and Volvo collaborated on an engine design (used in the DeLorean among other cars). It's got some utterly bizarre design features but attracted its own relatively dedicated following called… PRVerts.

90° V6 engines are a perversion, anyway.

Dunno, I don't mind being called a Rustacean, though I think Rustafarian is a lot cooler. The Gopher term doesn't bother me either, at least it wasn't "Yo Goats!" or something worse. I also like Pythoneer / Pythonista (don't ask me why I like that one). Not sure what D programmers are called, I guess just D programmers. That or Walter Bright's Heissenbuds? I don't know.

>Not sure what D programmers are called

They are called "Real Programmers", a nickname shared with the Assembly, C, Lisp, Prolog, and Ada programmers.

We, Java men, got used to it long ago.
