;-) ok, I'll bite. Author has difference of opinion with Rob Pike about what he calls "ergonomics". Some shit about not agreeing with the internal politics of the project. No generics! (Yeah, people have been complaining about that since day 1). And some elusion to which languages he does like but can't use cos reasons.
Honestly this is the same old n00b whining that fills places like Reddit. It takes decades to wash out of new programmers, before they can just get on with the job and stop blaming the tools for their failings and imaging that some language or environment will make it stop hurting. This is what I call the Utopian Instinct of Programmers.
The irony of someone still mired in this delusion telling someone like Rob Pike (if you don't know what Rob has done I suggest you look him up) that the lack of syntax highlighting in docs is a major issue of the language. I'm not asahmed to admit it: I LOL'd.
I do appologise if any of this offends you young whippersnappers but after decades of reading the same complaints and whining by programmer who think that it's all about them and computers and software must conform to their preferences, or they will make mistakes... I just can't keep it in any more.
Listen idiots: you're going to make mistakes and no matter how good you think a tool is you will come to hate it because it will not make you something you're not. Is in the end none of these discussions are useful. You're looking in all the wrong places, and this is what people like Rob know and you're still decades away from learning.

I've been using unit tests with a goal of 100% coverage on and off for decades. I've read the criticisms of it, and the dismissals.
But my experience is that when I've used it, the occurrence of bugs later in the field is dramatically less, often as much as 10 times less.
The effect is so dramatic I put unittesting into the D programming language as a [core feature](https://dlang.org/spec/unittest.html) rather than an add-on.
It's a small feature, with an outsized large impact on code quality.

You'll be allowed to talk about abstracting from a "particular architecture" the moment you can find a high level common hardware without a DDR outside of the MCU world.
The understanding of unpredictable memory latencies is crucial. If you don't have it, you must not be allowed to write any code at all.

I wonder if a kickstarter couldn't help in this regard. The book is already written, and at the lowest tier you get a PDF copy, so there is low risk to back it. Then take the publisher rates and a reasonable number of copies you think you can sell based on the success of the Wolfenstein one and make that the funding goal for the higher tier print editions.
That way you get the lump sum cash up front to do the actual printing and take on little risk, and you don't get as shafted in the cut that Amazon takes.
This would hopefully allow for a decent initial profit to make writing these books worth while (in the monetary sense), and future editions can then be published through Amazon with the low cut for the author.

What you're describing is called "symbolic execution", and it's actually useful for hybrid fuzzing.
Just knowing how to guide a program to a specific part is useful for all sorts of tasks. Such as identifying dead code, identifying unlikely or useless cases, warning of missing error handling, and just general code exploration.

There's a time and place for everything.
I've been creating software for 25 years. I've never found a reason to deal with pointers or manage the memory any of my applications used. All the languages I have used were capable of doing that themselves.
That means someone else, who does know pointers and memory management, gets to make the language compiler and turn what I wrote into machine code.
Does that make them smarter than me? If so, then I accept that: without those people, I couldn't focus on practical business applications.
And that means that we need computer science and software engineering as separate programs: the one is meant for people who do good theoretically and/or can translate programming language into machine language. The other is for people who are good practically and create business applications, games, movies, etc.

> I'm surprised nobody has developed a program that reads the code and generates test code that produces 100% coverage. That would satisfy a 100% coverage requirement, but would be completely useless. The goal is to test 100% of the code, not execute 100% of it.
I've actually seen libraries that kind of do that. How they work is by passing values to the function then recording the return result. They test all future invocations against that result. The most glaring problem is it assumes your function doesn't already have a bug in it. Many times I've written code that only when I was writing the tests I saw I had made a mistake.
Another alternative is languages that have an ML inspired type system. Depending on how detailed you get with this type information, you can often represent quite a bit of business logic in the typing. This will then mean any mistakes you've made that might've broken that contract will now be reported by the compiler or analysis tool.

It would be a UI overhaul to blender with added features. It would start with a grid and you could manipulate objects just like with TinkerCAD, but could also draw/create by exact points/vertices, where it would generate lines(or 2D shapes/planes I guess?) between them, and then polygons(with your set limit between points/solid objects when finished, or whenever you wanted.
Main focus for me is 3D printing junk since most CAD programs I've tried are very much lacking, more info is on that forum post.
*big feature could be automatic mirroring of a part so it's automatically symmetrical from a given point.

Having come from a Python background, I very much like Go.
Go has limitations, but compared to what it can do, the limitations are not that severe.
For example, if your alternative to Go would be a dynamically typed language (such as Python) then you have no right to complain about lack of generics because dynamically typed languages don't support them either; everything is just `interface{}`.
Go is the only language I know of that has
- Static typing with structs as value types
- Compiles to native binary
-- With cross-compiling support out of the box
- Output does not need to carry its environment around with it.
- Designed for networking applications with "green threads" builtin. \*
Some languages have static typing but require a VM to run, which can have all kinds of headaches associated with it.
In an ideal world most web programming would have occurred in D or something like it, but D has its own problems. It basically inherited the C++ model of supporting too many features and programming ideas to the point where it's too difficult to get a grasp on the language.
My personal favorite is Odin but I can't use it for production yet.
\* Added after-the fact to clarify

Sure. But what does "getting paid more" have to do with mandatory holidays?
When the usual Story - especially for highly qualified staff like devs - is that working for 8 hours effectively is practically impossible. Then the argument that more work should pay more seems at best weak and at worst irresponsible.
I would go further in arguing that having some additional holidays would actually improve life quality and therefor performance of the staff.
And when performing is what you seek in these highly paid individuals then giving them holidays is essentially intrinsically valuable for you!
The same will also apply to all other jobs who are not as well paid as devs in the US.

It's not cheap to print a 400 page full-color book.
The author chose to only get 77 cents profit.
Most books like this would cost $80+ with the author getting a bigger cut, but he chose to make it as cheap as possible. I can't feel bad for him when it was his own decision to price it as low as he did.

The difference is that you are a US citizen and the person you are replying to is probably not. What they describe is consistent with visa workers onshore. They work them to death, only pay them for 40 hours, and the workers put up with it because it's still way more than they make in their home country. And this is happening at a company that employs me, pays me 6 figures, four weeks of PTO, and other aggressive benefits. It's a duality that a lot of people don't pay attention to.

The highest salaries will be in larger cities, but no matter where you work in the US you have to fund your own retirement; your own health care (many will say they get company provided health care, but they almost certainly will still go bankrupt or owe many many thousands of dollars if they have a catastrophic medical event); likely your own higher education and that of your children; probably get 6 to 7 holidays per year; and will be virtually required to buy a car (which you will be required to buy insurance for) since our public transportation is atrocious; and have to work in a culture that worships business and exalts workaholism.

You NEED to? Like, your software won't even work if you don't know about that?
I would classify that as "might be interesting to know to some people in some cases, maybe".

>This is true in a more general sense - interfaces are a form of abstraction and many, if not most, abstractions in CS are leaky
I disagree with that terminology and Joals article. It has been said before and I'd like to repeat: if an interface does not give performance guarantees, you can't just assume them. And a certain implementation being slow does not mean the abstraction is leaky.
Also, TCP does not guarantee that messages will arrive. The interface does not say anything about that (of course, because how could it) and thus it is not leaky unless misunderstood.
​
If all, it could be said to be unprecise or not specific or constrained enough - but that is exactly what you suggested, so why use the word "leak" for that?

But there is this e-book version on google play and it's cheaper, but I have a doubt, for what I saw online I'll need Chrome or the Google Play app installed to read.
Is this true or I can just download the pdf after buying it and read wherever I want?

Do you really need strawman to help defend your argument?
The best you can do is imagine a ridiculous belief, pin it on me and then take it down by stating how ridiculous it is? Beating down an imaginary argument is not very useful. It makes you look like you don't have real arguments to defend your point.
How about you try again, but without changing the subject? Try talking about the topic at hand.

As much as I love crystal, it is perhaps the opposite of Go in some ways, which puts it at the other end of the extreme. Where go has no generics, Crystal has generics everywhere, by default. Where Go compile times are fast, Crystal is known for them being slow. It has less rigid syntax and perhaps allows more freedom than is desired for beginners - and I've heard from other posters in this and other threads that go is very helpful for beginners.
One thing that Crystal has that the OP article mentions is Union types. Crystal has a LOT of them, and I find them very useful.

It's more than the REPL that makes Clojure so easy to work with in this regard. e.g. If your JVM has Java classes loaded, they're not easily reloaded without significant work.
This is one of the best aspects of Clojure IMO. The sheer ease of having a dynamic development experience is fantastic.

That's basically an oxymoron on Youtube.
If this guy was looking to make ad revenue, he wouldn't release a feature-length video that was 2 months in the making, about a very obscure topic that is almost definitely bound to get demonetized because of Terry saying the n-word a lot.

> I do not like it, and its popularity is baffling to me.
I do not like it either. However had, I would not overrate
popularity too much. Some of it is due to hype; some of
it is due to C/C++ being too difficult for today's younger
generation.
The more these "alternatives" come up, the more important
it is to use C/C++ since in particular the former is there to
last for a really really long time.
> I've never met a language lead so openly hostile to the

Well, it is funded by Google, a company dedicated to Evil,
so no surprise to me.
> Rob Pike has been repeatedly and openly hostile to any
> discussion of syntax highlighting on the Go playground.
Eh, that is really such a minute issue compared to the more
general problem of Rob being a bad language designer.
Most of us are bad language designers - it takes a LOT of
good thinking to be a GOOD language designer.
Most languages just copy/paste C/C++'s syntax.

I fail to see how this is "disdainful" or "disrespectful". And that has nothing
to do with Go being so awful - I think you are putting emotions into
text and this does not work.
You are interpreting something here.
> Clearly nobody Rob cares about has ever experienced synaesthesia,
> dyslexia, or poor eyesight.
I have poor eyesight. I would not use Go though because it has such a
horrible syntax - only Dart and Rust are worse.
Having said that, syntax highlighting is not something I care about
really. Syntax elegance I care about though - and Go is ugly.
> The Go team is not Rob Pike,
Does not matter - they are Google worker drones. I'd never use
a language run and designed by Evil.
I really fail to see the point in investing my time for free to lend
more credibility to this greedy and evil corporation dominating
and abusing its de-facto monopoly position on the browser area.
> Other languages - including both modern languages such as

Go is awful - but to quote Rust as atlernative, sorry my man -
you are walking on broken ice.
> Go is, like every language, a political vehicle. It embodies

That is not a "political vehicle" - that in itself is language
design as such. Of course ON TOP OF THAT, there may
be politics - you can see this best with Google's Dart where
they are trying to replace Linux for Fuchsia in the long
run. People shouldn't help Google for free here.
Go does not have the same politics as Dart; and I think
less politics too. That it is a Google product means it has
to do what Google demands.
Again - if this bothers you, nobody is forcing you to use
Go. Sure, your work place may require of you to use
Go - well, if you have more courage and dislike Go then
you could always quit. I myself would not use languages
I do not like. I got a PHP offer perhaps 2 years ago and
I happily refused since I can not waste my time with
this monster of a language.
> On the unskilled programmers side, the language
> forbids features considered "too advanced."
Again, this is a design choice. If you ask me, Go's main
competitor is C. And that is where Go is a "simpler C",
even though it is an ugly and unnecessary language.
So from this point of view, I have to disagree with the
author - if the goal is to success as a simpler C then Go
is doing ok. I realize this simply by looking at people who
switched to Go. I myself would never do so but others did
and actually stayed around (more than Dart by the way,
which is a 99,9% Google-only used language).

Really - if you don't like Google or don't trust it, just don't
use Go. It's as simple as that.
It actually makes a good point why one should use C/C++. :)
> Again, the Go team's "not our problem" response is disappointing

It's good! That way you know Go is not for you.

Because that's part of the definition of "sane/normal", it's a special club for only people whose brains are working well enough. Obviously it's arbitrary in a sense, but I'm still comfortable with the fact that there are people who squarely fall into one or the other bucket. As for the edge cases, I guess I'll deal with that problem when it seems more pressing.

I *am* a US-based developer. Early in my career, I got 2 weeks of vacation, a week of sick time, about a week and a half worth of 1-2 day breaks spread over the year, and 3 days that could be allocated to extend various holidays. Later, the vacation time extended to 3 weeks, then 4 weeks. In 10 years, I was turned down for vacation once. There are some companies that I'd never choose to work for because of pressures against taking vacation, particularly the places that brag of unlimited vacation days; those tend to be toxic environments.
My work days have never exceeded 9 hours, and were often under 8.
When I started, there wasn't any paternity leave, but they implemented a minimal policy a few years ago. Maternity leave was always a thing.
No pension, and a suspicion that Social Security will be defunct by the time I retire, but a 401k-based retirement plan with partial match from the company for employee contributions (details varied, but mostly 50% match for up to 6% of my income).
In Europe, I'd expect lower pay and higher taxes, but also more vacation, and the strong expectation that I *take* my vacation when I can. More support for parental leave. Some form of retirement plan that isn't my responsibility or expected to fail.
My perception of employment in Europe might be off because it's based on rumor, but my description of benefits and pay are accurate descriptions of what I've experienced for the past decade, and expect to experience going on into the future.

I think your point about Google monorepo are spot on.
Like any tool coming out of Google, it has been designed and tuned for Google first, and released externally as a second consideration.
I find it hard to fault Google for having its employees looking at its own needs first; it just so happens that if your usecases/organization differs substantially from Google, then you may face some pain... it's up to you to decide whether the benefits outweigh the costs.

That is such a rubbish statement. Why? Because in any team you can adhere to standards established; once established people follow it (hopefully the standard makes sense).
You don't need a tool for something a team can do on their own, even if it may help.

Blunt and to the point is a huge understatement. It's downright toxic, pretentious, condescending, full of shit. It has great advice, and the framework laid out is still necessary. But the style is so bad it's basically useless, unless you wanna foster a community of people like ESR. And God, I feel sick just contemplating the idea.
Edit: just so you get where I'm coming from: I'm a somewhat active member of the local python community, and have been a go-to guy to certain things at work until recently. In both scenarios, it REALLY bothered me how often people ask questions terribly.
But in neither would linking to ESR's guide help. The python community prizes itself in being kind, respectful and welcoming to beginners. Dropping that shit in official channels would at the very least earn me a call out, and deservedly so. Same thing at work. I'm already not the easiest person to work with, if I send that shit to co-workers, I can't really be surprised if they conclude I'm a wanker.
So that's the problem with it. The content might be good, but the tone is so bad it renders it useless, unless prefaced with so much warnings and explanations that we might as well write a new one.

Go is certainly not the only language that can be cross-compiled, and definitely not the only one that compiles to binary. It also isn't the only one with a static type system with structs as value types. While Go does offer benefits coming from a dynamic language, it's benefits seem a lot more scarce when comparing to other compiled languages.
C, C++ and D are all compiled languages, though since you mentioned them we can also look at Rust, or Crystal. These all compile to native binary, cross compile out of the box (actually not sure about D on this one), and from what I can understand have static type checking with structs as value types.

'unlimited PTO' is almost always a pure scam because when they give it to you they stop giving you accumulated hours. A very common thing in the US is to get say, 4 weeks of vacation a year, take 2, and then when you eventually leave get paid out for the vacation you didn't take. This is now impossible and in addition it creates a race to the bottom because in reality you will get evaluated against how much vacation your peers are taking and also almost universally vacation has to be approved by your manager so you can't just declare you are taking August off of work. 'Unlimited' is for every practical purpose a complete lie.

I answer questions in /r/redditdev a lot. I've found that, at least there, I need to keep a few things in mind:
* Patience. Often, for the /r/redditdev case, it's people brand new to coding that don't even know quite how to express themselves. If I bring my best patience, I can usually (eventually) get them helped. It helps that it's a subreddit, rather than a slack chat, where faster turnaround might be expected.
* I know what follow-up questions I need to ask to get the questioner to provide more detailed information. Most questions in /r/redditdev are about Python and PRAW (reddit Python library), but some are about other languages. I'm good at helping with PRAW, but other languages I tend to need the raw HTTP request/response. So my follow-ups (when the answer is non-obvious) usually revolve around "Please google how to dump the raw HTTP request/response in <language/framework>, and share it here. That'll help me understand where your code is having trouble." I know what _I_ need from the questioner to help, and that may be different from what someone else would need to know to be able to help. I don't begrudge the questioner for not knowing what I might or might not already now.
* In contrast with the linked video, I don't want EVERYTHING. I don't really want to sort through pages of C# code and such to help solve your problem. If the problem is not readily resolvable, I ask the questioner to cut out lots and lots of code - trim the code down to the smallest representation of the problem. If I suspect the code has problems in an area where the questioner isn't aware, I'll ask them to do something very specific to focus them on that problem. This has the double advantage of teaching the questioner a fantastic debugging tool - getting rid of cruft to isolate the problem eliminates SO MUCH guesswork.
Ultimately, if I'm willing to use my spare time to help people, I'm willing to use that time to either _help them solve their problem_ OR to _help them ask better questions_. Either (or both!) is time well spent.

You can choose to use generics or not. The fact that they exist in the standard library is a boon for developer productivity.
Crystal is much better for beginners, it has more friendly syntax and has less confusing concepts than Go.
Crystal has a better type system, it has generics, it has macros, it has everything you need.
As for compile time well I guess that will be a problem if your write a few hundred thousand lines of code but I haven't run into issues.

$80k isn't getting definitely getting screwed unless you're pretty good and in a position where you're doing a lot for a profitable company.
It might be sub-par, but at $80k that depends a lot on where you're located and your skills.

> Author has difference of opinion
No, that is only one part - the other part is that the opinion
made it into specific design choices. And this is an area you can critisize or praise easily, even well without mentioning Rob. Even though he did mention Rob a lot but at the end of the day, these are design choices you can like or dislike. I don't know why he is so "hostile" against Rob in the sense that he wants to put emotions into statements that I don't see - but the language choices can indeed be critisized very easily.
For example, if I need 500 characters versus 100 characters to do a task with a computer then most people will rightfully say that 500 characters requires more time by the human user (to write, to process, possibly also to think and reason about in most languages). And that is an objective criterium here!

I agree the general purpose of the builder pattern is partial/deferred execution. Where I don’t follow you is when you talk about runtime vs compile-time builder. I was being somewhat tongue-in-cheek with my comment since compensating for lack of named/optional parameters is the only *compile-time* reason I’ve seen anybody use a builder.
I’m still a little confused about your example, though. You’ve listed a lot of negative examples. What is a language that DOES do what you’re talking about? And what does it look like in that language?

It looks more like auto-restart on compilation rather than some sort of swap.
