To the contrary, in my very recent memory are interesting GO2 threads, both on nuts and on dev lists, derailed by the Java "grassroots marketing" as presented. Please search your inbox (or webgroup) and take a look for yourself. Taken in separate, it looks good and thoughtful and of goodwill - just sparkled here and there with "an unconditional Java love". Amass it and suddenly there is a pattern emerging of "Java's better", "Java's inventors knew better", "Java got it right" dominant pitch. On many threads time was wasted, by many, fighting cup-of-java shaped straw men. Yet more people wasted time reading these derails and trying to make sense of it. OK, sometimes there is an neophyte attitude people take as learning new exciting things. But they are not supposed to make ex cathedra claims about pears over oranges superiority. At least unless they work in sales department. Yep, I might have waited with this booing for the next meritful thread of someone else to be interrupted with Java advocacy, but then I would've been derailing possibly useful thread myself. Here is better. At least for mail list subscribers. TC, -- Wojciech S. Czarnecki << ^oo^ >> OHIR-RIPE -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
