VSCode with Go language support: removes unused variable on save “Fixed that compilation bug for ya, boss”

I really hope so. Last code I reviewed was full of !! and companion objects trying to emulate Java static instead of top-level consts. Even I’m still trying to figure out what idiomatic Kotlin looks like. We got a ways to go…

The interoperability is both a blessing and a curse imo since it let us half-ass the integration by leaving a bunch of Java code unconverted. I could start refactoring everything but then my team would stop reviewing my PRs due to the diff size (and then my manager would eventually find out that I’ve been using up work time doing this instead of shipping features during crunch week).

I really much prefer Kotlin to Java. I just wish my team had actually had a commitment to it instead of just sorta using it with no migration plan.

This is literally how this all started for us lol. Senior wanted to try to migrate everything to Kotlin in our project. Migration never finished. Now one of our major repos is just half Kotlin half Java. Devs on our team learn Kotlin by unexpectedly encountering it when they need to touch that code.

I always love passing over the river on the yellow line

…and then there’s Go who just won’t let you compile at all

“Dr. Prof. Mann, I really didn’t understand anything about UNIX on that last midterm. Can we go over how to touch and finger after class?”

I deduce these two sets must be the same then?

Close! MD

It’s obviously:

Traceback (most recent call last): File “./main.py”, line 2, in <module> AttributeError: ‘str’ object has no attribute ‘length’

Man how are we gonna write all of our Whitespace programs now?

I think we gotta take this offline

one box to handle all the frontend requests

why is my project’s architecture here lmao

Obviously if team was doing agile with CI/CD to promote frequent deployments and testing they would’ve never encountered this mess /s

Guessing Go? (since no parens on the if statement)
