Wasn't Go supposed to be "simple"? I remember how Go advocates used to boast about not having generics and now it almost seems like Go is trying to become some sort of C# or Java Frankenstein. I'm not even trying to badm

That's great, even though specialized generics are still missing. I think these improvements will be especially beneficial for Scala, because it is such a powerful language, but abstracting on the JVM comes at a heavy price.

I keep telling you what's what and you do nothing but gaslight me by trying to turn my words on me. Language wars are silly and pointless. Someone tells me he/she uses language xyz, I basically don't care, do whatever works f

Looking into the negative comments is quite amusing. Not only do most of them contain technical inaccuracies, but of course, they also need to mention how great .NET supposedly has been from the beginning and how Java supposedly copied ever

Language design isn't just about adding every possible feature. For example, someone mentioned operator overloading. As someone who has written a lot of Scala, I think operator overloading would be a very bad feature for an enterprise

Lots and lots of smattering around here. If anything, this is a secure boot flaw (and partially TPM), but that is a separate conversation. Also, it's been known for years that TPM based encryption should always be protected with a PIN

Java really isn't fast unless you're basically writing C style Java. Abstracting is expensive in Java and if one can't abstract, what's the point of writing Java in 2026? After all these years value types aka Valhalla ar

If we ignore the fact that value types likely won’t ship before we have flying cars, Java has evolved greatly. I really like how they’ve solved concurrency, but I dislike how they’ve handled modules but this a minor issue. The main problem

RAM encryption doesn’t prevent DMA attacks and perofming a DMA attack is quite trivial as long as the machine is running. Secure enclaves do prevent those and they're a good solution. If implemented correctly, they have no downsides. I
