Me too - and I don't even know C++.


I was joking that the main reason for dismissing C++ for this task so quickly was not knowing it, and when and where C++ is used.

How did I came through, to be so unvoted? I'm confused.

Articulating concerns with Go is a legitimate (if, for this particular thread, unproductive) way to use HN. Writing comments like "Go is a toxic language" is not; it's morally indistinguishable from trolling.

The comment rooting this thread, suggesting the use of Go instead of C++, was also unproductive. I'm glad to be done with the C++ part of my career, but still happy to read about ambitious new libraries built in it. That upthread Go comment is the kind of tangent-driving chaff that made Slashdot unreadable. But this comment is even worse.


Point taken. Made comment less polarizing.
