I don't want LLM usage to inadvertently change the way I communicate with people.

Amen brother.

Yeah, I also don't want my editor to have syntax highlighting. I refuse to use any editor that has it. Don't even get me started on native vcs support. My rule of thumb is: "If it auto-completes then it gets the auto-yeet."

lmao, I stopped reading after this.

uhh ya it is. There's also https://github.com/eleijonmarck/do-not-compile-this-code

icholy··on Go automatically downloads a newer toolchain if needed
That seems like a lot of hoops to jump through considering that rust allows arbitrary code execution during compile time anyway.

Why? The majority of people are happy with this change.

It's not enforced, it's trivial to disable.

You probably shouldn't advertise that.

> An array can be used to efficiently simulate a linked list

That's obviously not what the OP meant. Also, I don't think there's an efficient way of implementing deletes with an array backed linked list.

icholy··on An unordered list of things I miss in Go
I'm commenting on the proposed implementation of using an array to keep track of insertion order.

Yeah, who needs O(1) deletes anyway? /s

You seem to have forgotten that it's possible to range over channels.

Dealing with private repositories does suck, I'll give you that.

> GitHub seems like it's going to be eternal for now, but when the industry moves on in 10 years time every single Go project is going to break.

This isn't correct. The Go module proxy stores all of the module content so it's still available even if the original source is removed.

> But ultimately a real fix involves touching every single file that imports your dependency.

Why is that a problem?

icholy··on Go is my hammer, and everything is a nail
Not sure what you're comparing to, but Go modules are probably the best dependency management system in any language.

It's good for writing that prototype you're supposed to throw away. It's often easy to see the correct solution after seeing the wrong one.
