- factsahoy, on 11/12/2009, -1/+40ENOUGH POSTS ABOUT THIS.
Then again, it's actually TECH NEWS ON DIGG and not some mainstream sports *****.
Complaint rescinded. - Chris_F, on 11/12/2009, -1/+31so... this is the bastard child of Java and Python?
Always wear a condom! - alboin, on 11/12/2009, -3/+32No new major *system* language.
C# is not a systems language. - christoast, on 11/12/2009, -1/+28I out put and iostream on her face value
- pwarnock, on 11/11/2009, -0/+24I'll let it mature before I touch it.

- patrickharsadi, on 11/11/2009, -0/+16I wonder if there's gonna be a Stop programming language down the line..
- deathstryk, on 11/12/2009, -1/+14This is the Stop programming language.

I do believe they should change the name, apart from being an unsearchable term, it's only more than fair to McCabe. Issue9/i9 has my vote. - galore, on 11/12/2009, -0/+9From google, I was expecting a programming language like this:
"Computer! Sort this array ascending. You'll figure out what array" - marciot, on 11/12/2009, -0/+9You include libraries in your header files? I think you're doing it wrong.
- shinkou, on 11/11/2009, -21/+30No major programming language in these 10 years... obviously this guy doesn't give a ***** about C#.
- scopium, on 11/11/2009, -2/+9Looks like they took C changed it around a bit.. and just focused on optimising the complier. I still hate remembering what libraries i need to include in my header files.
- theratboy, on 11/12/2009, -0/+7Dugg for XKCD @ 9:00
- zephc, on 11/11/2009, -9/+16some heinous syntax there, and a lot of implicit things to, what, save 10 seconds copying and pasting?
- inactive, on 11/12/2009, -0/+7someone's mad
- AngelBunny, on 11/12/2009, -0/+5This video is encoded so terribly (pre hitting youtube) that it is making me go all OCD on it. GAW!!
- le0pard, on 11/11/2009, -0/+5Looks like C to me, with a lot of nice stuff built in.
- JQP123, on 11/12/2009, -0/+5Take the syntax of C, the safety philosophy of Pascal, add garbage collection and this is what you get.
Nothing really all that new here --- more like a re-mix. - mcprogrammer, on 11/12/2009, -0/+5At least two of the designers come from a *very strong* Unix background (Rob Pike and Ken Thompson who, with help from a few other people, created Unix) and it's still an experimental language. I'm sure there will be a Windows port eventually.
- DulcetTone, on 11/12/2009, -0/+5foo.Printf() ? my EYES!
foo.printf() looks much nicer. What aesthetically-deprived person would subvert the lowercase initial letter paradigm for this crap? - saranagati, on 11/12/2009, -0/+4i think you can still post the complaint since someone posted a video to introduce a new programming language.
- LarkStew, on 11/12/2009, -0/+4I looked into Haskell a while back, and I can see its appeal to mathematicians. Look how simply you can compute a fibonacci number with it! But as a programming language I just think it's too obscure. I can't imagine writing anything of any size or complexity with it, it would be utterly unreadable.
- mattcarr1011, on 11/12/2009, -0/+3I can't wait to compile my kernel source in Go.
- bdit1200, on 11/12/2009, -0/+3my first impression of the language (given the main selling point of compile time) was worthless as well, then.
- schitzn, on 11/12/2009, -0/+3Hmmm. Compiler runs in Linux and Mac OS, no Windows support mentioned.
- fabkebab, on 11/12/2009, -0/+3Without having the time to watch the full hour, I jumped to a few places throughout the video, and at the end I thought I was watching either a hoax or a video dredged up from the mid 90's - It just didnt seem that astonishingly new
- zephc, on 11/12/2009, -0/+3I agree - and forcing as public/private based on if the first letter of the member fn/var is upper or lower case sounds really retarded. Python sorta does that with prepended underscores, but not really. It's just a convention that class members starting with underscores probably should not be accessed from outside that class.
Also, that they (and as far as i can tell) force defining members in the outside of the class block (C++ does this but does not enforce it). In the wrong hands, this can lead to unwieldily code - the presenter even did it in his own code! I.e., he defined a new struct type, did some other code, *then* started adding methods to the new type (yuck)
This man should have his programmers license taken revoked. - eanbowman, on 11/12/2009, -0/+30x90?
- Eschewy, on 11/12/2009, -0/+3That looks like a nightmare.
- darkhorn, on 11/12/2009, -0/+2my favorite one
http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/1379/88353454.p ... - ripter, on 11/16/2009, -0/+2You say because it's interpreted, and then you use Java as your example?
A quick google search shows that C# and Java are comparable speed-wise.
Your last point is because .NET runs on windows and you have issues with windows. You can also run .NET on mac and linux with Mono, but I could see the argument that because it's not as complete or whatnot as Microsoft's .NET implementation. But still that doesn't really make C# a joke. A lot of development houses are Microsoft houses and do well with C#. And if C# is a joke because it only runs on Windows, then Objective-C must be a joke because it only runs on OSX. Oh and don't forget C and C++ are jokes too, I can't just write a modern GUI app in windows and expect it to run on OSX or Linux, or vise versa. All languages are tied to the librarys available to them, and most windows librarys are only available on *gasp* windows. - DulcetTone, on 11/13/2009, -0/+2It's the face of evil. C# canonized this. It saddens me the extent to which a superficial thing like this cheeses me off.
Luckily for me, Google's Android code conforms to Java practice (the one I prefer). The Java practice is one that was new to me when I encountered it, but it seemed manifestly "right".
Have to run outside now and make sure those kids stay off my lawn. - palmer, on 11/12/2009, -0/+2Good call-out. Another stupid use of "video" when a page of text would work far, far better.
- pinchduck, on 11/12/2009, -1/+3Atari!
- cjh24, on 11/12/2009, -0/+2I'm sure that, given a couple more years of development, Go will be able to compile from psuedo-code.
- eanbowman, on 11/12/2009, -0/+2I now want to make a goroutine called GOSUB just to bring be back to the bad old days. :)
- jonnyfatman, on 11/14/2009, -0/+210 PRINT "HELLO"
20 GOTO 10
RUN - zephc, on 11/12/2009, -0/+2might be hard without any pointer math
- dehmann, on 11/13/2009, -0/+2Okay, its mother may be Python, but its father is C/C++ rather than Java. It's in the family of compiled languages.
- tenbosch, on 11/12/2009, -0/+2I'll be honest and say this sounds pretty cool. But I don't feel compelled in any way to use it. It seems they would have been much better off trying to improve an existing 'system-level' programming language than invent a new one. How many times can a wheel be re-invented. And why does every big software vendor want to invent a 'simpler' programming language. Don't we already have lots of success stories with our so-called complex languages?!?!
- jhanspal, on 11/12/2009, -1/+3I wanted "Go" to look different than C/C++. Its like English is spoken with different accents, but it is still English, give or take the difference in slangs and localizations. I am sure they would be putting good features in "Go". But looks like Pascal + C + Python to me. Whats the new concept (not just a new construct)? A new language should have the power to change the whole paradigm.
Also now different languages should have different keywords at-least. consider you searched for "read( )" on google and you were returned results ranging from C/C++, C#, Go, VB, Python and a myriad of scripting languages. Now that we have so many, shouldn't different languages start having their own namespaces? - tenbosch, on 11/12/2009, -1/+3@alboin, c# can be used as a systems language, if you're definition of a systems language is to generate machine code. It's just nearly always used with runtime libraries.
- beatlemaniac007, on 11/12/2009, -0/+2no...for read() for eg,
it wouldn't be the best thing to do to keep finding synonyms for read everytime a new language is introduced. People know what read is supposed to do...so keeping the same name and standard is easier for people working with multiple languages. It makes life easier to NOT change the name in fact.
As for the google problem...search for "read() c/c++/java/pascal/python/etc" instead of just read() lol - dehmann, on 11/13/2009, -0/+2Nothing new, it's been standard at google for a while http://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ ...
- MattBD, on 11/12/2009, -0/+2Unix is just a better environment for doing that kind of thing. You've always got the option of running Linux in Virtualbox and installing it on that.
- neFariou5, on 11/15/2009, -0/+1Interpreted .NET crap perhaps?
Why would anyone want to use a language that is more bloated and resource hungry than Java. Also, by using .NET you basically cement your code to Windows servers, an os that needs to be rebooted to apply security fixes.
..to name a few reasons. - eruanno, on 11/13/2009, -2/+3c# is a ***** joke. don't even pretend it's a contender.
