Another observation from this novice Go programmer: I'm puzzled why there's no while statement.
I know it's possible to use a for, but it doesn't feel right to me. I always think of for loops as for iterating over data structures. Originally just arrays, but languages like Python and Objective-C have extended for loops to other collections as well. "Looping until some condition is met" for me is a different control structure and needs a different keyword. There'd be overlap with the for statement, but if-then-else and switch with boolean case overlap too. And since while has been a reserved keyword in a lot of programming languages for many decades, I would bet a reasonable amount of money that a while statement could be added to Go right now and not break anyone's production code. cheers, Hugh Fisher -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
