Hi everyone,
The proposal was closed about a week ago with the conclusion that: "There
was further discussion, but no change in consensus on this particular
proposal."
First of all, let me begin that I am always humbled by the wisdom and
passion of the Go community and that this whole process
Thank you for your supportive words. I do hope that this will get the ball

operator overloading. There has been a lot of discussion about supporting
multidimensional indexing etc so this has been a major issue ove
So the first paragraph in my answer to Jon addresses this. But I think I

addressed by index operator methods, which is the critical part. Full
operator overloading is nice to have in my opinion and I argue people will

I think we all agree that Python has some major issues.. :)
But the point of Jon's argument which struck me as very compelling is that Go
would really need full operator overloading to serve as a serious competitor
given the standards to which people have become accustomed. I didn't see in

Jon's points probably sink this proposal. Go is a very different language, and
making it less self-consistent to solve some fraction of syntactic readability
is almost certainly not going to get over the very high threshold for changing
the language.
If you're going to switch over to Go, you'l
I have written a proposal to add index operator methods to Go2 here [1]. I
