But we are still bound to supply and demand. If everyone was a coder, price would plummet. Programmers are only currently able to do reasonably well because they are relatively limited in numbers compared to the demand for them. It is very

The issue with that is that anyone invested in Rust or Scala have no reason to want a better type system in Go. Fixing Go is as important to them as fixing COBOL, and I don't see HN full of threads on what needs to change in COBOL. Wha

What I struggle to understand is: If that functionality is considered useful or even impeding the development process for those developing in Go, why has nobody forked the language to add them? Many of the points you mention are fairly low

I think you may be reading too much into the hypothetical implementation. It was highlighted as nothing more than syntax sugar, after all. If all you do is translate: template<type> max(...) into #define defmax(type) ... and

Okay, macros. Either way, it provides what most people are asking for in generics (not you, perhaps), even if the implementation isn't exactly pleasant. From a practical standpoint, there really isn't a whole lot of difference in

Wouldn't it be more accurate to say that on-site work was just a temporary regression? Back in the time where almost everyone worked on a farm, the farm was also your home, and mirrors a lot of what remote workers experience again now.
