<p>I think the author addresses this in saying that since AI output is statistically plausible by design its unlikely to improve in this area. Why do you think AI will get better in this way?</p>

<p>Gokrazy is a minimal linux distro that just boots into a go init program. You can run on a raspberry pi or pc. It has a little init system that just takes a path you normally use in `go run` and just runs them and restarts as needed. Its been a joy for me to play around with. Has A/B updates as well.<p><a href="https://gokrazy.org/" rel="nofollow">https://gokrazy.org/</a></p>

<p>I feel like wc3 is undersung. To me it achieved the perfect balance of allowing potentially mechanically worse players to win with brilliant tactics or strategy. It put the emphasis on strategy in rts more then anything else.<p>As a kid I was shit at it and played customs maps and goofed with the editor. Now I've gone back to find grubby streaming and revealing the depths of the meta evolution, and counters.<p>I like that even when a strong meta develops people can potentially counter with strategies that aren't as well rounded for long term use but upset the current meta.</p>

<p>I was a big fan of the original check handle proposal: <a href="https://go.googlesource.com/proposal/+/master/design/go2draft-error-handling-overview.md" rel="nofollow">https://go.googlesource.com/proposal/+/master/design/go2draf...</a><p>I see the desire to avoid mucking with control flow so much but something about check/handle just seemed so elegant to me in semi-complex error flows. I might be the only one who would have preferred that over accepting generics.<p>I can't remember at this point because there were so many similar proposals but I think there was a further iteration of check/handle that I liked better possibly but i'm obviously not invested anymore.</p>

<p>Its the opposite in my understanding. Zig has a BDFL.<p>Trademarks are the usual cudgel of choice to enforce a bad actor claiming to be part of offcial Zig.</p>

<p>The regulation good/bad dichotomy has been very effective reducing the thinking of the constituents of  modern neolibs in the US.<p>On one end we have regulations as part of regulatory capture. Opposite effect of regulations that would help say a small business compete fairly.</p>

<p>I feel like people always take the designed for juniors thing the wrong way by implying that beneficial (to general software engineering) features or ideas were left out as a trade off to make the language easier to learn at the cost of what the language could be to a senior. I don't think the go designers see these as opposing trade offs.<p>Whats good for the junior can be good for the senior. I think PL values have leaned a little too hard towards valuing complexity and abstract 'purity' while go was a break away from that that has proved successful but controversial.</p>
