I find it hard to believe the people who built Go, coming from designing Plan 9 and Inferno, would build a language where it is difficult to swap out a component.

I have this feeling that in their quest to make Go simple, they added complexity in other areas. Then again, this was built at Google, not Bell Labs so the culture of building absurdly complex things likely influenced this.

I would not want any open OS to comply. Time to stand up.

I remember it was nicknamed "Rods From God". Kinetic energy weapon using 9 ton tungsten rods dropped from an orbiting platform. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_bombardment

Before?! We're already doing a great job at it!

In preschool our teacher brought in a jar of cream that was passed around and everyone took turns shaking it. Then we had buttered bread. I believe this was done for thanksgiving.
