Google Releases Version 1.5 of Its Go Programming Language, Finally Ditches C

Posted by samzenpus on from the latest-and-greatest dept.

An anonymous reader writes: Google has launched the sixth notable stable release of its Go programming language Go 1.5. VB reports: "This is not a major release, as denoted by the version number and the fact that the only language change is the lifting of a restriction in the map literal syntax to make them more consistent with slice literals. That said, Go 1.5 does include a significant rewrite: The compiler tool chain has been translated from C to Go. This means "the last vestiges of C code" have been finally removed from the Go code base. As for actual changes in Go 1.5, you'll want to read the full release notes. Highlights include improvements to garbage collection, the developer tools, the standard library, and new ports."

    Looks like the SJWs are modding you down. Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke.

    Posting as AC for similar reasons.

    He was posting AC because he made a humorous though politically incorrect post. You're posting AC because you think backslapping him means you're as cool as he is. You're like the socially inept fat kid that hangs out with the class clown and is the first to laugh at his jokes. The problem is the class clown grows out of it and gets a good job, while the socially inept fat kid just eats cheetos in his parent's basement his whole life and wonders where he went wrong.

    But he does inherit their house, so there's that.

    It means the same thing as it did before.

    Exactly, it's still true that if you're using it then you're a socially inadequate moron.

    There is no dichotomy between "social justice" and individual justice, because "social justice" doesn't exist.

    I think I've come to the root of the problem: you're an idiot.

    Uh...no. No it's not. See? It's your single-issue obsession that blinds you to what the rest of the world perceives. Everything is about your pet issue, all the time, and it's never off-topic.

    BTW the correct term is "misogynist", not anti-feminist. Anyone who disagrees with feminists is a woman-hater. All women are either feminists or masochists.
