Nothing. Major versions of Go modules can be kept _either_ in a directory _or_ a branch. (The OP just doesn't seem to be aware of the branch option.)

Whenever I see that quote being used to spurn Go I'm amazed of the seemingly large number of language researchers of a calibre of Wirth, de Moura or Wadler and the few actual used languages on the other hand.

Some people think Optional/Either/etc are the absolute cure to a certain sort of problems and -- I speak from experience -- it is impossible to convince them that it's not. Well, of course, if your end users, the business use

Programming in Go since 10 years and I do not have to worry about nil pointers. You seem to assume that the possibility of a pointer being nil is something that is complicated, a burden to the programmer and a source of runtime bugs. It&#x2

Sorry to hurt your feelings, but it is not. The _compiler_ cannot know whether the code in a package might be used (e.g. because the package is just used to register some stuff; a common example being image file formats). Only the _linker_

A module developer _can_ change the URL if the want to introduce a breaking change. Absolutely no problem here. But they do not _have_ to: Adding the version as v2, v3, ... to the module name works also. Nobody is "forced to adopt url

Go is fast. No interpreter, no JIT, plain machine code combined with the ability to lay out your data like you can in C.

Running "go mod vendor" just populates the vendor folder which allows local development with all tooling. It does not force you to check in the vendor folder (you can even .gitignore vendor). Doing "go mod vendor" is not

If a dam burst it kill a lot of people in short time. And 36 hours later rebuilding the infrastructure and towns begins. If a reactor bursts it might not kill lots of people but it will devastate a large area for a very long time. We still

Germans are not so obsessed about not paying taxes like e.g. Americans or Swiss. Nobody likes to pay taxes and everybody complains about the high taxes. But I think (actually hope!) that Germans understand (if only unconsciously) that happi
