For the 'I use ... BTW' meme to say something else.

No, actually, I can't think of anything. I'm pretty comfortable with it at this point. Been running it since 2013...

This is the most excellent summary of Go I have ever read. I agree with everything you've said, although as a fan of Scala and in particular its asynchronous programming ecosystem (cats for me, but I'll forgive those who prefer the walled garden of zio) I would also add that, whilst its async model with go routines is generally pretty easy to use, it can shit the bed on some highly-concurrent workloads and fail to schedule stuff in time that it really should've, and because it's such a mother-knows-best language there's fuck all you can do to give higher priority to the threads that you happen to know need more TLC

Did you ever hear about the bishop of Norwich? He always passes his port to the left.

You say 'dumbing things down' I say 'that's kinda condescending talk that implies that anything else isn't shut when it clearly is'

You say crappy, I say wait. My knees won't have to bend so much. I'd actually take this if I didn't have kids

Deodorant and I have never really spent much time together - perhaps because I live in a mild climate and don't do much sports - but god damn do I love a hot shower.

Well that makes sense

As more and more libraries are open source on GitHub or gitlab or sourceforge or whateverthefuck, asking questions on the libraries themselves (as an issue) is often the right thing to do, too... Less centralised than SO but also the only people who care about how to do things in a lib are people using the lib, so.....

Wellllll the implications of the ending of 28 weeks later is that the rest of the world had a reprieve but are fucked eventually...
