OK, I'll have to accept that. However, in your reply that I responded to you wrote:
> But to each his own, just please don’t work on anything with critical > safety issues please. Thanks for your understanding. This was rude. Further, to explain my original post. It is a joke talking about people, by stealth changing one language to another because the destination is the Obviously Correct™ language to use. This struck a chord with my with your claims about things that are obviously missing from Go that are present in Java and how we as a community in Go should just stop fooling around and start doing it the Right Way™. ISTM that in your comment "Yes, lobby to have Go2 include exceptions and then you don’t need to worry about any of this... :)" you are indeed suggesting that the actually is a silver bullet, and that Java has it and that Go doesn't. It may be the case that I have misinterpreted what you wrote (the smiley supports this), but the fairly consistent abrasiveness of you posts regarding deficits in Go that Java has already solved suggests to me on balance that I haven't. If I have, I apologise. I have nothing further to add to this thread. Dan On Mon, 2018-10-08 at 21:12 -0500, Robert Engels wrote: > I was only speaking for James Gosling.
