Why not just use GitLab?

Interesting! The OS doesn't seem to be based on Debian, Arch, or RHEL, but instead seems to be its own new thing, with Flatpak as its dependency manager. Seriously considering playing with it in a VM.

It's in decent company in the Redmonk graphs[1], in the vicinity of Smalltalk, Mathematica, D, and Haxe.

Just out of curiosity, what's holding you back? I'm not trying to evangelize or something, it's more of a personal collection of reasons various people have provided that I have.

You might want to follow this proposal, if you aren't already. It's the most recent one, and it's supported by quite a few “core members” of the Go Team. I don't think it'll land in 1.28, but I like the fact that it's still a feature that's being actively discussed.

Have you ever learned a language? Because that's what it is for a very large percentage of people.

Which is why the Soviet government used “ultraviolet baths” to make sure that children up North got their vitamin D.

There's always ReactOS[1], a project for a bug-for-bug compatible Windows clone. It used to mostly aim at Windows 9x compatibility the last time I'd checked, though, but that could probably change. And if anyone wants to create a Win7 clone, at least some of the groundwork has already been made.

Thank you, rsc, for all your work. Development in Go has become much more enjoyable in these 12 years: race detector, standardized error wrapping, modules, generics, toolchain updates, and so on. And while there are still things to be desired (sum types, better enum/range types, immutability, and non-nilness in my personal wishlist), Go is still the most enjoyable ecosystem I've ever developed in.

If I recall correctly, ProtoBuf has a reflection layer, and it's probably using that.
