I would not call it deceit, since the Ruby standard does accurately describes a subset of Ruby v1.8. It is more a workaround for institutional rigidity.
I guess we would likely be better of without such bureaucracies, but it is utopic to think they will disappear any time soon. The best we can do for now is to enable programmers to use of better programming tools such as Go in such environments. Paperwork is the only language understood there, and that is why a standard would help greatly. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
