enums with associated values (like in swift) really are the thing i miss the most in go.

[pjmlp]

Yeah, yet another Algol 60 missing feature.

I really don't get how one can suggest the iota const dance with a straight face as an alternative.

The sooner you realise Go is just C with some niceties, the better.

[pjmlp]

When are C enumerations coming to Go?

[preseinger]

what do you think would happen if there was a comment about go on the internet that you somehow didn't see, and to which you weren't able to reply with a sarcastic and sneering dismissal?

probably some serious kind of disaster, right?

[pjmlp]

At crazy as it might seem, I do miss a lot.

Then again, too busy reading papers.

[bsaul]

so, i had a look because i wondered if you were joking or not, but algol 60 doesn't seem to have enums (putting it here just in case someone else may read this conversation)
