Yes, it's objectively the best programming language.

Yes.

No.

Fits these quite well, although I really regret the forced automatic memory management and lack of shared linking. They got almost everything else right.

Go is just as boilerplate as Java, slower than Java
Golang is absolutely shit
$cat in Go:

package main
 
import (
    "bufio"
    "flag"
    "fmt"
    "log"
    "os"
)
 
func main() {
 
    flag.Parse()
    flags := flag.Args()
 
    var text string
    var scanner *bufio.Scanner
    var err error
 
    if len(flags) > 0 {
 
        file, err := os.Open(flags[0])
 
        if err != nil {
            log.Fatal(err)
        }
 
        scanner = bufio.NewScanner(file)
 
    } else {
        scanner = bufio.NewScanner(os.Stdin)
    }
 
    for scanner.Scan() {
        text += scanner.Text()
    }
 
    err = scanner.Err()
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
 
    fmt.Println(text)
}

$cat in D:

import std.stdio, std.array, std.conv;
 
void main(string[] args)
{
        auto source = args.length > 1 ? File(args[1], "r") : stdin;
        auto text   = source.byLine.join.to!(string);
 
        writeln(text);
}

What took you so long? Doesn't Andrei pay you enough?

where did the lispers go?

C++ "programmers", everyone

>>61040185
Wow I had no idea that D was so shit.

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    std::cout << (argc > 1 ? std::ifstream(argv[0]).rdbuf() : std::cin.rdbuf());
}

import sys
print((open(sys.argv[0]) if len(sys.argv) > 1 else sys.stdin).read())

>>61040382
Fixed, I can't fucking paste a snippet properly. The very first post was actually correct.

>>61040388
And now I wrote it with fucking argv[0] instead of argv[1]
I give up.

It;'s okay, C++ "programmers" are retarded in general

pleb. how else can an os make subsequent calls to the application if it were to crash?

is Go a systems programming language or what?

top kek

>>61040419
it tried

>>61040419
According to Go shills, it's a system programming language if you compare it with Java or Python, but not a system programming language if you compare it with proper system programming languages like C++17 and Rust.

>>61040433
>C++17 and Rust
C++ and Rust are both ugly abomination

>>61040419
The developers called it that but they were using an ancient UNIX-era definition of systems programming that basically encompasses anything more low-level than a shell script.

>>61040419
Any language with a runtime isn't a systems programming language.
Go has a GC and a scheduler built in. So no.

I'd say systems programming language also needs pointer arithmetic. Go doesn't have that either.

>>61040433
>proper system programming languages like C++17 and Rust
Rust isn't even a proper programming language.

>>61040717
>Any language with a runtime isn't a systems programming language
Ok kid, enjoy rewriting the GNU operating system without crti/etc.

>>61039974
No, the documentation is absolute crap.
Also time formatting and parsing is absolutely fucking retarded.

>>61039974
>no map/filter/reduce in the standard library
>not even a way to implement them so that performance is not shit
stay away from this crippled language

>I already know some Python, Java and C#
then you'll pick up Kotlin in no time

>>61039974
If you can live with a meta programming story and type system worse than C and Java - and that is really scraping the bottom of the barrel, sure, why not.
