I know this is dumb, but cute animal logos is the reason I refuse to learn Go.

janAkali,

IMO, go’s gopher is ugly, not cute. But, anyway, there are better reasons not to learn Go.

I’m curious to know those reasons. I’d like to pretend that I have a valid argument against Go.

For one - the error handling. Every codebase is filled with messy, hard to type:


<span style="color:#323232;">if err != nil {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    ...
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span>

And it doesn’t even give you a stack trace to debug the problem when an error happens, apparently.

Second reason - it lacks many features that are generally available in most other languages. Generics is the big one, but thankfully they added them in last half a year or so. In general Golang’s design principle is to implement only the required minimum.

And probably most important - Go is owned by Google, aka the “all seeing eye of Sauron”. There was recently a big controversy with them proposing adding an on-by-default telemetry to the compiler. And with the recent trend of enshittification, I wouldn’t trust google or any other mega-corporation.

Yeah the “owned by google” thing is a big turn-off. And telemetry… he’ll no. Also it’s weird that Go doesn’t have a ternary. It’s a small thing, but it’s a thing.

That gopher is literally the reason I have been considering learning go. Same with plan 9.

DannyBoy,

Guess you’re stuck with C++

sentient_loom,
@sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works avatar

Right, the only other language.

DannyBoy,

Because it has an animal mascot that’s not cute.

Poor Keith. ;_;

@sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works avatar

I didn’t even know they has a mascot. And now my idiot-brain wants to learn c++ for a bad reason (on top of some good reasons).

Oh, it’s a cameleon with the Linux Mint logo as the head.

Pantherina,

In Germany we would say

verschlimmbessert

ISOmorph,

Nonono, we would say ‘‘Geschmackssache’’

cashews_best_nut,

Do you prefer stollen to have marzipan?

jxk,

Everybody prefers Stollen with Marzipan

cashews_best_nut,

I’m looking for that one freakie German who doesn’t

well… i prefer the old logo :(

muhyb,

It was perfect. I don’t understand why everything must lose its soul with material design.

MonkderZweite,

Material Design was flat. Now it is lines?

what

TheGrandNagus,

It’s not material design.

TheGrandNagus, (edited )

Material design looks nothing like this though?

Material design is about blobby, rounded shapes, pastel colours, complementary palettes without much contrast, mostly flat.

HouseWolf, (edited )

You should be able to get the old logo back in neofetch atleast by editing

ascii_distro=“openSUSE_old”

You can actually set it to any logo regardless of what distro you’re on
