Weren’t they the band with the lead singer who turned out to be a paedo?

Oh, I installed Arch manually the other day and rather enjoyed the process :'( felt good to be reminded of all the bits and bobs.

TBF I have been accused of being a time-waster on occasion

And there’s no Tim Curry, who frankly makes RA2

Everything about that is entirely unconvincing to me, but I agree VR because there was nothing to suggest that the VR experience itself need seem unpleasant. Also exponential time dilation is just incredible

Omg I remember running into something like this about 12 years ago. TTY did help but did need a reboot. I had to arch-chroot off the live usb so many times that night, my first ever Linux installation and I fucked up the bootloader and initial packages so hard so many times. I felt so cool when I was able to switch to another tty without needing yet another usb boot. Thanks for that memory.

Yes, yours alone

In reverse order:

• Directly mapping structs to JSON is a solved problem in userland for every major language
• yes it does, and worse it’s part of the return signature and null is super-prevalent of necessity as a result
• even java doesn’t do that any more, but fine I guess
• cool, but access modifiers actually make a lot of sense. Go’s solution to this is to use capitalisation as a marker, which has no ‘inferential readability’ – public/private is obvious. Foo/foo? Considerably less so

Further, meta programming in go sucks donkey balls. Sure, it finally got generics but also they suck. Last I checked it still didn’t even support covariance.

Dude, weird ass-comment. I can share my opinions and they don’t have to be positive ones. Go is a tool and its purpose is to be an aesthetic stain on the realm of software.

Thank you for your attention

That’s completely fair, thank you for your service

Ironically Go is such a shite verbose language that basically everyone I know who has to work with it will use an llm code-assistant tool to avoid having to write all the boilerplate themselves.

I know of no other language that comes close to prompting the level of LLM-dependency that Go inspires.

Edit: well, seems like this goes against the popular consensus but I stand by my guns if the down votes are from average Go enjoyers. If, on the other hand, the down votes stem from the sentiment that even Go should not be vibe coded, I can at least agree with that, but who knows what jimmies I’ve rustled
