Re: Just port the bloody code. @Charlie Clark
Computers may make fewer errors, but the Python to Go transformation is a one-time only thing. If you want to edit the Go code, you have to go back to the Python code instead, because the automated code isn't human maintainable. That is a major flaw in the process.
A one-time Python to Go converter is really just a toy. Someone's 10% project turned into reality.
Continuing to write new code on Python just to be converted to unreadable Go is also idiotic. They're Google, they can't find someone who can learn Go? They really have that many "Python Masters" who are also incapable of learning a new language? Good engineers aren't stuck with the tools they used in College.
