    Big news for developers out there: Google has just announced the release of a new, open sourced programming language called Go. The company ...

    Ugh... no operator overloading, no efficient generic programming and no lambda expressions... Only time will tell, but I don't understand who the intended audience is: I think that Python guys won't care about the (supposedly) increased performance (and you can interface C/C++ with Python easily) and that C++ programmers (I mean, the hardcore serious C++ Boost-like programmers, no the Java-like whiners :P) won't have their beloved templates pried from their cold dead hands with ease.

    yeah though I think especially operator overloading is not going to be a main problem, it is as with the JS library though quite thinkable that lots of users will switch or use it (or being put to use it...) because it is done by Google
  • Francesco Biscani on 12 Nov 09
     
    Having Google backing it will certainly help, even though they are presenting it as a "system level" (i.e., hard-core) language, and in that domain it is much more difficult to bullshit your way to a position of relevance. Look at Java: Sun pushed it like hell and it is certainly widely used in many contexts (corporate, web and embedded markets mostly), yet it completely failed to win the hearts of "open-source" developers (or, more generally, of those developers who are not forced to use it by virtue of some management-driven decision).

    "or, more generally, of those developers who are not forced to use it by virtue of some management-driven decision" completely agree with that!!

    nice article reflecting on how to best "protect" ideas ....

    "we should not forget that the technical solution disclosed in this article is only 5% of illusion" Certainly... but I wonder how did they measure it?

    Obviously, they subtracted the percentage amount of bullshit from the total :P

    Other possible study: get a textbook example of an image of a pen, evolve it just enough so NN can't recognize it anymore, while minimizing the distance between the original and evolved images. EDIT: Its been done already: http://cs.nyu.edu/~zaremba/docs/understanding.pdf

    Of course, you can't really use them to extrapolate. The unknown unknown is always the trickiest :P They should just make another class "random bullshit", really and dump all of this stuff in there. I think there's a potential paper right there
