like always, there's an XKCD for that: http://xkcd.com/946/
..and like someone mentioned their 200$ food budget, try spending twice that amount on kindergarden a month that your kid is not attending for now because he's home sick and you're spending extra on treatment.
When you've exhausted your saving options, making more is still the best option for saving money:) Simple math, if you spend 3000/month of your favourite currency, then you'll have twice more money by earning 4000 vs 3500.
e.g. in "if a.length != a.length" the "correct" token is the first "a". Should really be anything in the whole expression.
Don't actually feeling the need to go back though. It's not about language properties anymore, but the library ecosystem. I hated when anything useful in Delphi was a C dll port. You're never a first class citizen.
No.
I like the direction Go is going of "there are no options to choose", like unconfigurable fmt, or the fact that there is no way to create "exotic" implementations.
However, generics would be my number #1 on the list of "maybe let's add that". Would be nice to have less "interface {}" in reusable libraries.
Exceptions would be probably second, but that would come with some sort of runtime cost. With them Go would start to drift towards "generic programming language".
