That’s a fair point though it’s more of a practical argument when the topic was more academic discussion with regards to language design.
But I do agree that practical considerations are important when making architectural decisions.
This is actually quite relevant to language design, too many people still get lost on discussing about grammar and language semantics, forgeting about everything else that is quite relevant why chose language A over language B.
Ironic you say that because usually we have the opposite positions with me asking you to have a little pragmatism.
I’ll save this post and share it with you the next time a Go thread comes up. ;)
Share at will, as professional, I am the first to chose C or Go if that is what the customer requires.
It is the customer and their happiness to the service that matters, not what programming languages I enjoy using.
Something that more people should actually think about, instead of proposing rewrites and then leaving when it isn't fun any longer.
