So now closures are not an issue anymore?
There is nothing wrong with closures per se, hacking them up on top of
C is what is wrong.
That's basically what you replied to me in an other thread:
"I'm pretty sure that if C featured closures, Anselm and many others
would promptly and cleverly hang themselves with them."
I asked you why, but you didn't answer. Can you elaborate? Can you?
And you don't see the OO
non-non-support (sic) [from the FAQ: "is Go an OO language?" "-Yes and
no"]
as a problem? Beware, if you use Go's methods you might write OO-style
code
without noticing.
If you can't push your head out of your ass and beyond silly
terminology, it is pointless to argue with you.
However, you did start to argue.
Oh, I see: cheap rhetoric.
Next you will tell me that because I said OO is evil, I must be
against function pointers.
No; you probably confuse me with the other guy who says things like:
"I can much more strongly state that [OO and XML] are total
worthless bullshit that should *never* be used."
That said, IIRC you often agree with this guy, hence my question.
Go has no inheritance, and that is
basically the root of all OO evil (and inheritance is in mainstream
programming considered the defining characteristic of any OO
language.)
Why do you think inheritance is the root of all evil?
That's an important issue, given that Go offers " ways to embed types
in other types to provide something analogous—but not identical—to
subclassing"
[from "Effective Go"]
Having Go, there is no excuse to write user space code in C ever
again; as for kernel space, we will see (specially once they deploy
the new concurrent garbage collector), rob said he would like somebody
to try building a kernel in Go, this would be fun, and might even
produce something quite useful.
So now C isn't the perfect programming language any more?
C was never perfect,
Oh sorry, I believed you told me C was perfect for Unix programming on IRC
the other day. I apologize, I don't know how I could possibly confuse you
with the brain-dead C fanboy I talked with a couple of month ago.
starting with the abomination that is the preprocessor.
So... don't use it?
C always was, still is, and always will be, infinitely better than Java
or C++.
What about Perl, Python, Ruby, Basic, Befunge, Lua, PL/I, Smalltalk, C#,
Io, Ada, Scheme,
R, Self,...
Seriously, so what? What does it mean it's better? Better at what?
