There are genuine principled disagreements on how some things should be done. There are genuine differences in functionality. We cannot expect and should not expect complete compatibility. If you must have complete compatibility: use the same software (or maybe not even then, considering how poor the forward compatibility of some things has been..). What we can hope to do, and I think the best we can hope to do, is to minimize the amount of gratuitous incompatibility and reduce the amount of outright flawed constructions (so if there are choices which must be made, they're at least choices among relatively good options). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
