Wondering if there are as many learning Go as are learning Julia??
~d~

From replies, I've learned that 0 people here at CP are learning Go.
Julia probably has just as many here. But it is probably less. 
Just kidding, of course. It's funny that you'll see lots of articles about languages like Go and Rust and how popular they are becoming and then when you ask people the only sound you get back are the crickets.
I wonder if it is true about Python too, because all the articles say, "Python is the only language being used anywhere at any time from now on."

why i like Go
Rob Pike, "Public Static Void"
Rob Pike - Simplicity is Complicated
and why i like Go more than Rust (and C more then Go)
C: 0.73 new features per year, measured by the number of bullet points in the C11 article on Wikipedia which summarizes the changes from C99, adjusted to account for the fact that C18 introduced no new features.
Go: 2 new features per year, measured by the number of new features listed on the Wikipedia summary of new Go versions.
C++: 11.3 new features per year, measured by the number of bullet points in the C++17 article which summarizes the changes from C++14.
Rust: 15 new features per year, measured by the number of headers in the release notes of major Rust versions over the past year, minus things like linters.
what this type of progress leads to is that you will have sort of like 2-3 languages into one language. i would call this language fragmentation.
now you can have a JavaScript programmer that only feels comfortable with post 2015+ coding style, but is afraid to go anywhere near the ECMAScript 5th Edition and below.
you have C++ programmers that are expert in ANSI/ISO 98 C++, but know nothing of C++17.
this things will only get worse.

I've been setting up a combination paranormal cooking and music schools with the ghost of Louis Armstrong, and it's been going great.
But we were shopping for herbs on eBay and may have got a little carried away with the "Buy now" button.
Now I think we've bought too much[^]

Yes, sadly I could not get any this year because of the lockdown, we are not permitted to travel to Belgium. So I just will have to do with some Dutch "Bock bier"

Who will be doing the A's for the Q's ? Well - the only ones left will be the current Q&A Posters. That, of course, leads me to this simulation:
Question: Help me. I need to get my code done by this afternoon. I don't know where to start.
What I have tried: Help me. I need to get my code done by this afternoon. I don't know where to start.
Answer 1: I recall having the same homework question when I was a student. My solution was to post it at the CodeProject.com and ask for the answer, too.
Answer 2: I recall having the same homework question when I was a student. I never got a posted reply to do any of my homework all semester, except this guy, Original Griff, and he'd tell me to do my own homework. so I failed the course. Now I am contract manager for Agile projects

I don't believe: do you really dislike Agile? I am trying to convince you to like it.
In software development, agile practices approach discovering requirements and developing solutions through the collaborative effort of self-organizing and cross-functional teams and their customer(s)/end user(s).It advocates adaptive planning, evolutionary development, early delivery, and continual improvement, and it encourages flexible responses to change.
Which one of these beautiful Agile goodies looks like complete crap?

Agile - where the tail wags the dog.
And as a bit of insight, you know which end of the dog has the tail and what it's for.

I expected something like this... Looks like my advocating ability needs to be improved. Maybe I will try some time later. Meanwhile, I need to complete my sprint (scrum? sprint scrum? whatever).

The last environment I worked in where Agile was "practiced" had reduced it to worship. The only thing Agile represented was a dictatorship with a religion. The code coming out was worked and reworked until it matched the tech lead's code, whether it worked or not. Deadlines were blown and customers left waiting, but it was Agile.

The aims of aguile are laudable, though I'm not convinced that it produces good code in the long term - there is too much emphasis on short term goals and not enough on joined up thinking.
But as far as implementation goes, it's usually terrible: an excuse to get costs down by throwing code out the door without much if any quality control. Think about it: do car designers use Agile methods (outside the software component)? Do aircraft manufacturers (other than Boeing obviously)? Why not? Simple: their products have to pass actual independent testing to ensure they don't kill the customer ...

I wanted to answer here "Boeing, obviously", but fortunately, decided to read the whole reply.

Let me tell you the story of the agile bicycle. After the first sprint, minimal viable product was a frame, wheels and a set of handlebars. It could only go downhill. Fast - without brakes.
It was pretty dangerous until sprint five, where we put on a bicycle seat.
Lesson: Some things just don't lend themselves well to agile.

Agile like all these 'processes' is great if people do it properly and stick to it throughout the project. But in my experience, after a few meetings everyone loses focus, or other pressures are put on people. The result is that they do "agile lite", which is as good as not doing it at all. I have never seen (in 40+ years) a project following any of these processes that actually delivered what it promised.

sounds like class oriented programming.

my experience is different. i have never seen (in 30+ years) any of these processes that actually delivered what it promised.

Never having used Agile--my salaried days predate it--I will make some observations.
Let's start with this. A process will not produce good software without skilled developers. But skilled developers will produce good software without a process, though a process can help them work more effectively.
In software development, agile practices approach discovering requirements and developing solutions through the collaborative effort of self-organizing and cross-functional teams and their customer(s)/end user(s).
Discovering requirements, yes. Developing solutions iteratively, yes. But those who don't write code have nothing to do with development except providing user feedback. And cross-functional activity must be managed, lest it significantly increase the number of lines of communication and totally busy people out responding to every twit who invokes their name.
It advocates adaptive planning, evolutionary development,
no different than any software process, because the nature of software is evolution
early delivery,
as long as everyone understands what alpha and beta releases are
and continual improvement, and it encourages flexible responses to change.
again, no different than any software process
