Make an exception when it's Russ Cox demonstrating how often this wheel has been reinvented in square form.

In the end, Russ Cox completely rewrote all the programs needed to maintain the database and answer queries - a huge task!

I believe Russ is alluding to Go's type inference which Java / C++ / C# dont have.

There are piles of examples of Russ being curt, I'm quite surprised by the response my comment is receiving.

Or should I just wait until Russ Cox and Rob Pike come up with a production-ready OS?

This post is by Russ Cox, one of the designers of Go.

This is based on an early article by Russ Cox [1]; I don't know how the teams' position has evolved since then.

Don't really like the way Russ does things.

I don't see anything in Russ Cox's answer that proves your statement.

You might get a better idea by watching a bit of Russ Cox's tour of the Acme editor, in particular the couple of minutes starting around 12:40 [1].

I know it's pretty standard in many online communities, but it's the opposite of what Russ says they are trying to accomplish in the Go community.

One place I had seen this approach before was Russ Cox's "A Tour of the Acme Editor" video[1].

I am surprised to see Russ Cox called "veritably (at times) acidic".

Russ Cox said this year that generics aren't left out because of political reasons or design choice.

Russ, if this is what the talk was answering, is that really the question?

I've been reading Russ' emails for 15+ years since he was a Bell Labs wunderkind hacking on Plan 9.
