\[unintelligible 00:40:46.03\] on Twitter says "The language is fine. I'd go for more automated tooling and docs around the majority use cases, like APIs and things." Go kind of -- you know, a lot of the benefits we had, with `go fmt` and just having a few ways of doing things meant we could kind of cooperate much easi... |
Aaand we've lost him... Sorry, everybody, if you're watching live... We are just experiencing some technical difficulties because Ron is broadcasting from 30 years in the future... I think he said 2053. Just a normal Go Time episode apart from that, isn't it? |
**Natalie Pistunovich:** Yeah. So we can go back to the topic, finally. We stopped off at the perfect time, which is also talking exactly about APIs... So what is the standard way of doing that? Why is JSON API not standardized? |
**Mat Ryer:** Well, because a lot of people have JSON APIs, but there's loads of ways to do it; you just build it yourself. So you can use like the JSON marshaling, you can use the HTTP handlers, and things... But there's lots of other stuff in there, like dealing with responses... That's quite common, those kinds of t... |
Some languages like Ruby, obviously, and there are really frameworks that do it - they do solve that problem, and everyone then writes the same code, and it looks the same. In the same way `go fmt` gives us that in Go. |
**Natalie Pistunovich:** Yeah. |
**Mat Ryer:** So I don't know, I wonder if there's space for just in the standard library more things that help you build simple JSON APIs. It'd be quite nice... I mean, you can do it quite nicely just with the basic stuff, but... The router, for example - most people don't use that router. Unless it's in very simple c... |
I wonder if we can now reconnect Ron... |
**Ron Evans:** Hello! |
**Mat Ryer:** Ron, do you hear us? |
**Ron Evans:** Is this thing on? Hello! |
**Natalie Pistunovich:** You're back! |
**Mat Ryer:** Yeah, you're back. Receiving you live and clear again. |
**Ron Evans:** There were some drones at the door... I wasn't sure if it was a delivery, or they were trying to kill me. |
**Mat Ryer:** \[laughs\] Speaking of that, how is Mark Bates in the future? |
**Ron Evans:** Oh... Yeah, it's too bad about Mark. A drone finally got him. It wasn't one of mine though. I don't know, maybe it was just destiny. |
**Mat Ryer:** There's lots of conferences where Ron would be demo-ing something he's built using some kind of cool AI or face detection or object tracking or something, and a drone. And in the conference the drone would -- you know, part of his live demo included a live drone. And one time I think -- did you teach it M... |
**Ron Evans:** It was not to kill him, it was just to chase him. |
**Mat Ryer:** Oh. It was just to chase him, your honor? |
**Ron Evans:** It was just to scare him a little, that's all. |
**Mat Ryer:** It worked... |
**Ron Evans:** Yeah. Come to think of it, maybe eventually it just got the right idea... Stochastic dronery, or whatever... You know, the drone just decided on its own. Hey, when everything's in AI, who can say why anything is doing anything anymore. You turn on your air conditioning, it turns itself off. Is it because... |
**Mat Ryer:** Hard to know. |
**Ron Evans:** It's because you didn't ask "Please" when you turned it on. It's very complicated. |
**Natalie Pistunovich:** \[44:16\] Wait, is this a reference to gopls? Is that still working? |
**Ron Evans:** Oh, no. That never worked. I don't know what that is. |
**Natalie Pistunovich:** "Never" in your timeline probably only means like a decade, and then it went out... |
**Ron Evans:** Well, that's very suspicious... Is this the right past I'm talking to? How do I know? I'd better ask Lambda again, to make sure. |
**Mat Ryer:** Yeah, ask Copilot. |
**Ron Evans:** No, I can't ask Copilot; I'm supposed to be working right now. And here I am, checking social media. |
**Mat Ryer:** Well, whatever timeline you're in, or indeed, any point in space, it's time for Unpopular Opinions! |
**Jingle:** \[44:46\] to \[45:04\] |
**Mat Ryer:** Okay, this is gonna be very interesting, hearing from the future... Ron, do you have an unpopular opinion for us today? |
**Ron Evans:** Oh, I think all I've had is unpopular opinions so far today. If any of those in your timeline seem to make any sense at all, then that's all I've got. |
**Mat Ryer:** Oh, yeah? Natalie, do you have any unpopular opinions? |
**Natalie Pistunovich:** Yes. |
**Mat Ryer:** Really? |
**Natalie Pistunovich:** Coffee should not be sweet. |
**Mat Ryer:** Oh. Yeah, I think I'm with you on this. |
**Natalie Pistunovich:** Do you still have coffee in the future, Ron? |
**Ron Evans:** No. We have coffeum, though. |
**Natalie Pistunovich:** Coffeum. |
**Ron Evans:** Yeah, coffeum. It tastes just like coffee, except it's from yeast and some kind of other additives, and caffeine, of course. It's always caffeine. |
**Mat Ryer:** It sounds alright. |
**Natalie Pistunovich:** Is it sweet? |
**Ron Evans:** No, it's not sweet. It's kind of more like-- |
**Natalie Pistunovich:** Well, it sounds like the opinion works. |
**Ron Evans:** It's a little bit more like Vegemite, but with caffeine. |
**Mat Ryer:** Yeah. Marmite. |
**Ron Evans:** It's not really good. |
