- This has been happening in anthropic subreddits.
- I have so many disagreements on goals for the language with Russ, but have been a fan since his early days of writing the regex package and the c-to-go conversion code. Glad to hear he will still contribute to the lang, and hoping for a bit different direction from the new leads.
- How long until this is just a prompt?
- Bingo
- You’re right. Backwards unfriendly is maybe a better way to say it.
min and max are common variable names so depending on the version of go and the scope you should expect min and max to mean different things.
No reason these functions couldn’t have been part of the stdlib.
- Can we get arenas yet?
- breaks all my variables named min and max
- tbh whenever I write one of these it makes me wonder if I can accomplish the same logic in a better way.
- So I guess with new builtin functions we will be breaking backwards compatibility?
- Uh huh.
- At a company with “flat team” aspirations it’s like this but the loudest juniors call the shots. Come in with 10 years exp in a language and get constant pushback on my suggestions because I’m new and unproven. After 2 years most of the loud ones that made all the decisions are gone and we’re stuck with something that doesn’t scale and needs to be rewritten because before end of quarter. Amazing how much tech debt is possible in this model.
- Realtime collaborative filtering using proximity transmission. :B
- Why are we getting normal news here now?
- Why is there a long form article here?
