This is the most excellent summary of Go I have ever read. I agree with everything you’ve said, although as a fan of Scala and in particular its asynchronous programming ecosystem (cats for me, but I’ll forgive those who prefer the walled garden of zio) I would also add that, whilst its async model with go routines is generally pretty easy to use, it can shit the bed on some highly-concurrent workloads and fail to schedule stuff in time that it really should’ve, and because it’s such a mother-knows-best language there’s fuck all you can do to give higher priority to the threads that you happen to know need more TLC

Did you ever hear about the bishop of Norwich? He always passes his port to the left.

Is that true about the debug build? I had it on the N64 way back when and don’t remember it being especially laggy. OTOH I was young, and relatively shit at computer games
