[go-nuts] the Dominance of English in Programming Languages

I recently read an article (German) about the dominance of English in programming languages [1]. It is about the fact that keywords in a language typically are English words. Thus it would be hard for non English speakers to learn programming - argue the authors. I wonder if there is really

[go-nuts] Re: Go if else syntax .. suggested replacement

imo a very important aspect of a language is enduring syntax stability. Too many 'modern' languages lack even the most fundamental requirement of a solid Language Specification. Well done Go! And love or hate Java, that's what made it stable enough for it's massive and enduring success. Go

Thanks. Interesting that in all my time with Go I didn’t really think about it. > On Apr 28, 2019, at 10:21 AM, andrey mirtchovski > wrote: > >> But still, it would seem the range index should be unsigned - what would be >> the purpose of it being signed? Similarly, the slice indexing should

But still, it would seem the range index should be unsigned - what would be the purpose of it being signed? Similarly, the slice indexing should be unsigned as well. Just thinking about it... > On Apr 28, 2019, at 10:03 AM, andrey mirtchovski > wrote: > >> So, the question is: why ‘i’ isn’t

Yes, I heard back from the author that he was using tip. Thanks for the help. > On Apr 28, 2019, at 10:03 AM, andrey mirtchovski > wrote: > >> So, the question is: why ‘i’ isn’t treated as unsigned, since it is a range >> index - won't it always be positive? > > The author of the PR was most

[go-nuts] strange bug

I accepted a PR for my fixed project. It was done by an expectedly experienced developer and it includes a test case. I find it very hard to believe that the author didn’t run and verify the test case, so that leaves me to believe that something in Go has
