@jws The bit about generics is definitely a strike against it. I'll say that.
@kdfrawg If Borland had stuck with straight Pascal and added large, huge and flat memory models..instead of going into the Delphi rabbit hole, i'd have been a happy camper.

@jws I just like how clean the syntax is. Looks like something that is quick to whip up code in.
Eventually, I want to write a c++ DOM document handler that does everything I want (For XML and HTML).
I need this code soonish though.
Hmmm…I might just do this in golang.
If it has functionality similar to java.util.zip, I could build the ePub with it too.
Hmmm.
@larand Sounds like you and I pissed off the same God and got sent to the same Hell.
Seems to easy to load xml/xhtml source into a DOM object, pick a section root, build an iterator of certain tags within the section and clear or modify attributes or delete other tags altogether and associate the content with the parent tag….until you start writing the code.
The more I look at golang, the more I like it. I looked at it once, sparingly, when it was first coming out but didn't really pay attention because "yet another language doomed to become an academic wank-fest."
I developed this attitude largely because "ADA is the future. You must learn this" and "Modula2 will revolutionize teaching structured programming"
