  Its an effort to keep large code bases clean. I think they should just differentiate between a debug build and production build. Maybe ensure the debug build can only only run if its in the same directory as the go.mod file.

    I can see the sentiment here… Going through 100 clippy warning on Rust is just not fun… I know there’s the good old clippy --fix but I’m paranoid it breaks my code accidentally.

    Could probably have a compromise like 5 unused variables and your code don’t compile

      Automated tests and version control should prevent that from being a problem, I imagine.

    Or, you know, treat it as a warning like literally every other language. There’s absolutely no good reason for it to prevent a build outright, but then again, there’s not really good reasons for many of the decisions behind go.

    Has Google never heard of CI?

    I totally agree that it’s really annoying when debugging, but go run literally builds then executes. I think what they should do is add a build flag. So debug builds can pass that flag to get the builder to shut up, and leave it enabled for production builds.

  Keep in mind that this is the same language that prefers function names ToBeLikeThis(), and the reason is that it looks different than Java.

    Every time I think “perhaps I should give Golang another try”, it’s shit like this that keeps me noping out

      There’s two types of programming languages, the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses. Go is still my most productive language and is killer for building webservers. I basically use it as a scripting language since it’s so fast to write, compile, and execute.
