What is "this"?

Very helpful if you’re trying to learn JavaScript.

Go First Impressions

Working on my first project in Go, and I’ve come across some minor annoyances:

  • You’d think the way they decouple methods and types that you’d be able to create a method for any type as in C# extension methods, but you cannot.
    • You must create a named type first, but this seems awfully similar to subclassing
  • No generics
  • Manual generation of Makefiles
  • No method overloading
    • Why not?  I think this is a poor decision.  They’re easy to do in a statically typed language.

I do like the unit testing framework, simple as it is, and I think the overall productivity is pretty good.  We’ll see.
