hey, Marvin, Actually I haven't noticed it was a 8 year old thread, neither had I noticed that there should be any kind of preface in such cases (well, it was just a comment and the group rules are not that clear, afterall). My comment was about a rather *usual feature in OOP languages and that people with experience in such languages might wonder what's the idiomatic was to express the same concept in GO*, that's why the comment was made with this a caveat about its idiomaticity.
About *the subject*: I agree with you that the convention T/NewT is sufficient, but in some contexts (like packages with many structs and many functions that should me modelled as static methods in other languages) it might clog the package namespace. That might lead programmers unexperienced to GO into modelling *packages-as-classes*, which, I might be wrong, but I believe it is not intention designed for them. About *your message*: I believe that most people might disagree with static methods in GO (*maybe me included*), some might not, but anyways I believe you're not entitled to speak in the name of everyone on this group, are you? And, moreover, I do not think the aggressive tone on your message is consistent with a *discussion* group. cheers On Wednesday, October 16, 2019 at 8:09:29 PM UTC+1, Marvin Renich wrote: > > * ger...@cloudoki.com <javascript:> <ger...@cloudoki.com <javascript:>> > [191016 11:03]: > > I'm not sure about its *idiomacity*, but namespacing should be a nice > thing. > > > > On Tuesday, March 1, 2011 at 8:48:52 PM UTC, yiyus wrote: > ^^^^ > > Do you realize you are responding to an eight-year-old thread?
