Does any Go editor support that?

> Nothing about the language or its tooling prevents you from building such an IDE or a plugin to one of the existing IDEs. And there is absolutely nothing in Java that makes IntelliJ so awesome. These things are totally orthogonal. No,

Everything is perfectly usable without an IDE, you are just more productive with one than without one. Regardless of the language. In this particular case, the IDE could automatically remove the imports when you remove the corresponding sym

It's a simple reflection of the fact that the Go creators have never used a modern IDE. Anyone using a modern IDE pretty much never even thinks about imports, which are (and should be) automatically managed by the tool, not by the prog

This is like saying that if somebody leaves their door unlocked, it's their fault if they get robbed and the robber shouldn't be held responsible.

It's R&D expense. Nothing new here. It only takes one of these moon shots to be successful to bring in extraordinary revenues, and Google has always been crystal clear that following such path was in their DNA.

Hard to imagine that R is more popular than Javascript.

There are still a lot of Javascript developers around :-)

Pretty sure that pendulum is never swinging back in the dynamically type side. The simple truth is that today, statically typed languages have all the advantages that once used to be the exclusivity of dynamically typed languages, while the

Because if you like a language and that language is popular, you're more likely to find a job using that language, which in turn will make you happier.

> Dart is awesome. Just because currently the community is still small doesn't mean much. Well, it does mean something. Go is evidence that languages can gain momentum very fast so the fact that Dart still hasn't should be a bi

Doesn't that make the parameter anonymous, though? Can you println that _ and see the value of the current element?

Groovy and Kotlin use the implicit "it" parameter for lambdas that take just one parameter, which is very convenient: listOf(1, 2, 3, 4).filter { it % 2 == 0 }

That's pretty amazing. You know, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if you're the only developer who ever created a language and whose day job is not writing code. Hat's off to you, seriously impressive.

The DMCA complaint from the NRA looks legitimate, it's the decision from DigitalOcean to shut down the entire Surge network instead of just taking down the offending content that seems disproportionate.

It's easy to do this when you don't need to interact with the outside world and you don't even care about memory protection.

I'm having a hard time imagining how a Python tool could be a solution to a performance problem at the Google scale.

It's still not the same as perforce's mappings. Even with shallow repos, git will force you to download the entire world each time you pull or fetch.

> Why are programs even structured as sequential lines? Same reasons books are structured as sequential lines: easier to read for humans. And the reason why source code is still heavily text based and why introducing more WYSIWIG to it

You're right, I misused the term. Statistically, I'm sure the votes were counted accurately and that margin of error is extremely small and would not invalidate that vote. I was referring to the fact that when a result is so close

Technically, sure. Practically... it's a 52%/48% vote. Hardly a mandate. Some people say a revote might yield an opposite result, which means the current outcome is probably under the margin of error. It wouldn't exactly be a

Interesting, I didn't know about `delete`. Come to think of it, the trick to make something private in order to "remove" it is one of these very few areas where C++ makes you pay for something you don't use, so I'm

"Huge code base" is a pretty vague metric. Huge in what, lines of code? Binary size? I'd argue that neither of these are really a good measure, I'm more interested in the concepts that a source file captures than its siz

Nothing wrong with looking at nature and trying to get inspiration from it (e.g. neural nets) but ever since we realized that flight was easier to implement with chemical combustion than by flapping wings, we know that just because somethin
