@melroy@kbin.melroy.org i recently tried Go for the first time. just trying to parse some nested json from a file was quite painful as there seems to be no easy way to parse arbitrary json. it always needed a struct, which for complex json is quite awful to write out.
safe to say, since i have absolutely no need to the language, i won’t be using it
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org i mean, you can have a statically typed language and safely handle arbitrayry json. you just need Tagged Union types in the language, which make it easy to type hierarchical structures where each level is one of a set of types
