I love go but if one thing that it is not is - expressive, especially when compared to its dynamic cousins like Ruby/Python. That is a tradeoff I am willing to live with, but there is no need to get starry eyed over it.


Can you give an example? I've been writing a bunch of swift recently and I actually find it somewhat more expressive than either of those.


GP was talking about Go. Not to beat a dead horse, but not having generics results in writing similar code over and over again, eg working with collections


ah, apparently i'm blind. yeah, swift generics are nice even though they can be somewhat tricky to work with.
