I am sorry Dave but you can ignore the needs of the many few as much as you want but the tiny things won't go away.
There probably won't be any _written_ experience reports for most of the little things. The things that people live through and sometimes just have the time to email the list about a couple of times. It doesn't make them go away. The occasional "blog post in anger" happens of course and I have surely missed some things. The sheer number of voices concerning generics is a huge experience report in my book as is error handling although very different in nature (but maybe related?). The mantra "this is a neat feature from [other language] I think it would be useful" seems to be often used as a hammer to quench any ideas that only stem from previous _experience_ in other languages. What is Go if not a reaction to previous experience from C and C++? We could have drawn much more from previous experience. We did with concurrency and compiler speed for example. Why not with logging, generics or error handling? I would say that Go is first and foremost a reaction to previous experience and second an iterative model to hammer out the details and that is very good. We don't reinvent the wheel, we make faster and safer wheels. Anyway I hope that not only huge "experience reports" are added to the scales when it really comes down to choosing the next big direction for this very nice language. tis 22 aug. 2017 kl 00:41 skrev Dave Cheney <d...@cheney.net>: > I'd like to echo Egon's point.
