This would be fine in an ideal world. However, the one we live in has crawlers that don't care how many resources they use. They're fine with taking the server down or bankrupting the owner as long as they get the data they want.

And I can understand the abuse argument, however they have a blanket exclusion for AI I do not agree with.

> Go _is_ something of a sharp tool. Maybe we need to put a warning on it: for mature audiences only

This has been said for other languages, and it turns out no one is mature enough to consistently make it work without issues. The world has moved on; we can have proper tools that won't shoot your leg off.

Why risk misusing the sharp tool when you can just use something safe to accomplish the same thing?


Indeed. Elixir for most things (as it steps on Erlang's excellent runtime and has hygienic macros and an an amazing ecosystem), and when performance and system footprint really matters, get out the big guns -- Rust.

I quickly fell in love with Golang... and quickly fell out of love with it as well. It's a language that is super easy to love but it just does not seem to be suited for big codebases at all.


That's from 3.11 onwards.

What are you advocating for? Zero external dependencies? Write a new YAML parser from scratch? Rolling your own crypto?

It's true that simonw writes a lot about LLMs, but I find his content to be mostly factual. Much of it is positive, but that doesn't mean it's hype.

It's a protocol. You make payments through your bank app. You can make payments directly, basically a bank transfer, or through a QR code.

True that, ISO 20022 based.

Codespell works very well, in my experience. I run it from the command line and in CI.

The whole idea is that we need a definition that everyone agrees With. The OSD is what the software community at large agreed, so any licences that claim to be open-source are compared to that.

Please stop forcing your music on everyone around you. Get headphones.

> That was truly foul

Is it because, as the leader of a language, he shouldn't be making "attacks" against other languages? Because, as far as V being a fraud, he was 100% correct.


How is V a fraud? Last time I checked, the compiler worked and I was able to write and run complex programs, although I did run into some bugs.

> Is it because, as the leader of a language, he shouldn't be making "attacks" against other languages?

Actually, yes. Not only from the angle of common decency or adhering to a code of conduct, but as a matter of professionalism and setting the example for followers.

> as far as V being a fraud...

That is a provably false claim from competitors, who should not be engaging in such activity.

Paying supporters[1][2][3] (ylluminate, gompertz, etc...) of the V language have even gone on record at HN, to clearly state such competitor or evangelist claims are false, and that they are happy with the language.

Not only can such competitor generated claims be seen as false, through direct V supporter refutation, but by the visible progress of the project as a whole. Over the years, the V language repo continually amasses thousands of stars and hundreds of contributors, that can be plainly seen on GitHub. It is a significantly large and successful project. To pretend or argue otherwise, is very disingenuous. People are there, because they like using Vlang[4].
