Talking with seasoned programmers on > this topic appears to be somewhat pointless to me. ;-) [...] In the hope to explain my point better, I'd like to refer to a blog post by Caleb Doxsey [2] which explains what I'm afraid of in this regard: seasoned programmers have hard time actually explaining how it comes they possess the skills they have, and this makes their world view biased. I beleive most programmers on this list could skim through the Go Tour (I never did it FWIW) and won't supposedly spot any problem with it because they possess the necessary knowledge to not spot any problems newcomers could come to grips with. 2. http://www.doxsey.net/blog/tacit-knowledge -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
