That's purely a problem of Rust being wrong.

Floats have a total order, Rust people just decided to not use it.

What an absolute clown car.

My memory tells me that 0.19 literally killed the language.

One way Scala experts deal with people disagreeing with them is to contact those peoples' employers/universities, maybe you should revise your profile accordingly.

Lol, OK. Spoken like a cultist. Bad news for you: It's not going to happen.

Dude, just read the stuff you write. You seem to have some axe to grind, but every detail that you seemingly "forget" to mention (and is pointed out later) makes you look worse and worse.

You and your friend seem to be objectively terrible people and I see absolutely no reason why anyone would want to deal with you.

And now you can cry as much as you want about how you are being victimized, because I really don't care.

Have you ever re-read your posts and realized how incredibly whiny this all sounds?

He tried to start shit and got thrown out. Stop whining.

I hope you get the help you need and deserve.
Agreed.

Despite the author namedropping some other places, the whole piece is struggling to gain the validity it seeks due to pretending the US is the only country on earth and no one else could have figured out some solutions.

Also, the wrong use of "gerrymandering" makes me wonder how much the author actually knows about the topic.

Agreed. It gets even more crazier with int <-> float "casts" that silently change bits.

Coding in Java is outright ok, compared to Go.

Also, you should read the article, it mentions reactions like yours.

It only hurts, because it is true.

Based on the article, I doubt it.

Re:Lies we tell ourselves to keep using Golang on Sunday May 01, 2022 @10:51AM (#31225472)
Not sure that's a good idea. The concept of some types being special should not be something exposed to the user.

Go fans misbehaving shouldn't be a reason to avoid submitting articles.

So the worse the (Go) community behaves, the more careful authors have to be?

The flag was removed by moderators, but by then the algorithm already did its thing.

> Take that as a hint.

As a hint that sometimes you should do you research before making claims? Agreed.

> I read the content as lacking maturity, emotionally loaded

The article is perfectly fine, but what I gather from the reactions of Go fans is that they are lacking in maturity and become too emotional if their toy is criticized.

Something the author explicitly mentioned in his article. You should read it.

Re:Lies we tell ourselves to keep using Golang on Sunday May 01, 2022 @10:37AM (#31225341)
The article is over two years old and posted by random people regularly.

The timing is a coincidence.
