(01:11:47) mischief: i've never used it before, the conventions are unfamiliar
(01:12:04) mischief: also, limbo has no unsigned integers, and go makes a big fuss about them
(01:12:49) `jpi: these are minor issues, no need for a primer to figure this out.
(01:12:59) `jpi: the language spec should be enough :)

(01:21:39) mischief: it's a stable general purpose languages, someone's bound to use it
(01:21:41) `jpi: did i say problem?
(01:21:55) `jpi: i am glad people move from c++ and java
