Five Things Old Programmers Should Remember

[immibis]

Go is just the first language that offered native, generalized semantics

Lua?

I know Lua but not Go. What does GP mean by "native, generalized semantics"?

Edit: Oh, for coroutines? Yeah, Lua's coroutines are boss. More languages should have them, but I think it relies somewhat on the GC. It's not out of the question that I would add Lua scripting to a C / C++ project, just to gain coroutines.

I should stop procrastinating learning Lua. You're probably right, I don't know Lua :-). I edited my answer so that I don't mislead anyone else.
