All thought is born of failure.

Workin on it

pgactive?

This has been happening in anthropic subreddits.

I have so many disagreements on goals for the language with Russ, but have been a fan since his early days of writing the regex package and the c-to-go conversion code. Glad to hear he will still contribute to the lang, and hoping for a bit different direction from the new leads.

You’re right. Backwards unfriendly is maybe a better way to say it.

min and max are common variable names so depending on the version of go and the scope you should expect min and max to mean different things.

No reason these functions couldn’t have been part of the stdlib.

Can we get arenas yet?

tbh whenever I write one of these it makes me wonder if I can accomplish the same logic in a better way.

So I guess with new builtin functions we will be breaking backwards compatibility?

Uh huh.
