Also, until now, in Go identifiers beginning with a capital letter are exported. I personally liked the lower case identifiers they used in the Featherweight Go paper (and for type parameters in Haskell). On the other hand, I can see that many people are familiar with the T & Co. from C++ and its various derivatives. I don't have strong feelings either way, but it may be a chance to make a better choice than other language ecosystems. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
