  1. go

    The Go programming language

    Tried to contribute to a Go project a few months ago and got bitten by https://github.com/golang/go/issues/67296 due to questionable doc quality. I was pretty disappointed to find that natural sort isn't builtin since Go was the Unicode language in my mind (Go runes, made by some Plan 9 thus UTF-8 creators).

    Go has a lot of good points, but I immediately felt "dirty" when using it. Like that time when I tried to wrap a closure variable over itself ("my_closure = new closure calling my_closure") and needed to use a temporary variable because closure captures are always by reference: if you want to build abstractions, you got to think them better; as it stands, this is the worst of both worlds I know (C++ makes capture type explicit and customizable, Common Lisp was designed by wizards who knew what to do cf https://www.tfeb.org/fragments/2023/02/22/how-to-understand-...).
