After 10+ years of using @golang, I can only count a handful times I really wish I had the ternary operator. However, I'm not so sure it was a worthwhile decision to purposefully omit that feature from the language for readability because people are writing smelly code anyway...

Hey, Gophers, are you ready for a party? @GoLandIDE, @golang, @ainsleydev, and @jespinog will be having a Go 1.27 release party on August 25. Join them online for an evening of the freshest news, hottest takes, and a splash of fun! 📅 August 25, 4:00 pm UTC 📍online 🔗 #golang#

✍️ Now that AI can write hundreds of syntactically valid lines per second, the developer's job has shifted from "writing" to "reading and verifying." That shift changes what we should want from a programming language. Why Go is an Ideal Language for AI-Assisted Software Engineering 🔍 Overview Google's Go team makes the case for Go as the ideal language for the AI-assisted development era. As the bottleneck moves from code generation to review and verification, the language properties that matter most have flipped — readability and maintainability win over writability and expressiveness. ⚠️ The Problems Being Solved ・LLMs frequently hallucinate type mismatches and non-existent properties ・Dynamically typed languages (e.g. Python) only catch these errors at runtime ・AI-generated code often pulls in stale packages or vulnerable dependencies ・Repeated refactoring passes degrade accuracy (~95% first-pass, declining) 🛠 How Go Addresses Each ・gofmt enforces uniform formatting — AI output is always syntactically predictable ・Static typing + fast compilation: rejects errors instantly, orders of magnitude faster than Java, C#, or Rust ・govulncheck: low-noise vulnerability scanning targeted only at invoked symbols ・Native fuzz testing: continuous discovery of boundary-condition bugs ・15 years of strict backward compatibility: Go 1.0 code runs unchanged today 📌 The Counterintuitive Conclusion "As developers write less code, language choice becomes more critical." Absorbing AI's high-velocity output safely requires deterministic guardrails — and Go was designed for exactly that. #Golang# #AIEngineering#

Netanyahu thanks Colombia for recognizing the Syrian Golan Heights as Israeli territory. He says the Golan Heights belonged to them in the 8th century AD so they have a right to it now. Israel was formed in 1948 and they captured the Golan Heights during the six-day war between June 5-10, 1967 (this is also when Israel attacked the USS Liberty on June 8, 1967). Colombia and the US are the only countries to recognize Israel’s annexation of the Golan Heights. Miriam Adelson (Trump’s largest donor) thanked Trump for recognizing the Golan Heights as Israeli territory in 2019. (AI generated translation)
