    You’ll go fmt and you’ll like it. Go has the single easiest to Google name of any programming language. Thou shalt not question golang decisions.

        C is also bad - but I do think .Net takes the cake. I’m willing to give C a pass though since it existed before we had search engines… Go was specifically developed at Google so there’s no excuse.

      I’m gonna name some language “``` head -n1 /dev/random | base64 ``” so it’s easy to search

      I thought everyone else just did what I do – if there’s a squiggle, take away the squiggle part. If something’s missing, make a blank line and then blindly bounce on the tab key until Copilot fixes it.

      That’s step 1, and if that doesn’t work, step 2 is to actually look at what’s going on and try to fix it.

      I ran across an old Stackoverflow question from many years ago where someone asked a question about types and wondered if generics could solve it. There was a very high-minded, lengthy reply that Go does not have generics, because that makes the language small and clean.

      Since then, Go has implemented generics. Because who the hell wants a strongly typed language without generics on this side of 2010?

        I honestly only think generics made it into Go because the designers started getting embarrassed by the solution to nearly every problem being “create an empty interface”.

        on this side of 2010?

        On this side of 1990. I’m not saying C++ did this right, but it embraced the idea that maybe the compiler could do a little more for us. And every time someone fielded a new language with some traction, eventually they added generics or just used duck-typing from the start.

      You bring back my bad memories of having to implement a server program in rust and all my searches ended up with about 1/3 useful results and the rest being hosting options for rust gameservers
