@jjacobsson@mastodon.gamedev.place The very first step is to never, under any circumstances look at any Reddit post made in the last 7 years.

@jjacobsson@mastodon.gamedev.place Is Go the modern unicode version of APL? Does Go allow the em-dash in identifiers?

@jjacobsson@mastodon.gamedev.place If Generics did not exist, it would be necessary to invent Them.

@jjacobsson@mastodon.gamedev.place This is what worried me about implementing a language (which I'm currently doing) with full 32bit character support. There are a large number of glyphs among all the character sets of the world, which are extremely hard or impossible to distinguish by eye, and the potential for confusion is enormous.

@jjacobsson@mastodon.gamedev.place Seen this come up a couple of times here and I want to point out this is from (at least) 9 years ago and Go has had generics for about 4 years now. Not to devalue the craziness of the original post! Just don't want people to avoid Go because they think it doesn't have this feature and you have to do insane workarounds like this.
