This is really cool! Go is so dead simple to learn but it just lacks a few features. I feel this really fills that specific gap. Go with more expressive types and a bit stricter compiler to prevent footguns would be a killer backend languag

Are you a LLM? This comment is written twice in this thread and of your last 10 comments, 6 use the pattern "X isn't Y" or "X didn't Y, Z did" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47469767 >

I've found it's ok at Rust. I think a lot of existing Rust code is high quality and also the stricter Rust compiler enforces that the output of the LLM is somewhat reasonable.

Good article! Small suggestions: 1. It would be nice to define terms like RSI or at least link to a definition. 2. I found the graph difficult to read. It's a computer font that is made to look hand-drawn and it's a bit low resolu

One big difference is that with unwrap in Rust, if there is an error, your program will panic. Whereas in Go if you use the data without checking the err, your program will miss the error and will use garbage data. Fail fast vs fail silentl

I think the argument is that the compiler does not enforce that the error must be checked. It's just a convention. Because you know Go, you know it's convention for the second return value to be an error. But if you don't kno

Yeah it seems there's a bit of asymmetry between a normal lender and the federal government here where as a normal lender you might not be able to lend enough to guarantee the debtor survives. Also what the gov decides to do may signif
