Before I became a GO nut, I did 20 years of commercial Java. I became a big fan of Google's Guava library. Guava was open source, but was driven by Google's needs. Outside contributions were rare. I got used to it. I wonder if being "community driven" is really a good thing. GO was invented by a tiny team with strict ideas. This is in strong contrast to Java or C++, which are bloated and overly complex languages. There are times I'd rather not have something, say generics, rather than pollute the simplicity of the tool to add features that the community wants. IMHO, YMMV, etc. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
