Lots of us here are programmers. What's your favorite programming language, and why?

Haha, so I *just* started a Spaces group and found out Google's canning it theverge.com/2017/...

I'd strongly urge you to never build anything on top of a Google product or platform. Ever. Always look for an alternative. There's some exceptions that feel safe like Golang or NaCl but anything that isn't in Google's core products (search, ads, chrome, gmail) is subject to cancellation, API breakage, and general shittiness; especially for customer support. Even paid stuff, like Google Site Search was recently announced as cancelled. Please don't ever use Google products, you'll just encourage the constant rise/fall tide.

Go 1.7 has been released (golang.org/doc/go1.7). This is perhaps the one piece of software where I'm excited about reading the release notes: there's always something improved. This time it is faster compilation and execution, along with smaller binaries.

Hmm... Yeah it seems people like to color comments and strings but not keywords. I'll see what works. Could you post a screenshot of your setup?

Here it is: imgur.com/WNKpH26. Doesn't have strings or keywords, but those have no special treatment. I've made it look like code samples on golang.org.

This is some exceptional progress: tip.golang.org/doc... I'm excited about fixes in map literal syntax, new floating point type in bignum library, nicer output from flag package, and improvements to image processing libraries.
