Huh? What's so Frankenstein ugly about it? The use of arrows like "i <- c"? Putting types after variables like "i int"? If anything Go's syntax is boringly C-like. Is this just a visceral reaction because it isn't Java? There's some pretty annoying things in the Go syntax, like iota, but nothing that rises to the level of a horror movie. If you think Go is ugly, try reading Haskell some time. -- "XML is like violence: if it doesn't solve your problem, you aren't using enough of it." - Chris Maden -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
