Is gccgo a joke to you?


Maybe? It's stuck at 1.18 without generics and no one has replaced its maintainer, Ian Lance Taylor, who seems to have moved on after leaving Google.

But to be fair to alternative toolchains, TinyGo and TamaGo are also a thing.


Ian Lance Taylor is in the recent commit history for the main Go implementation. He's not working at Google any more but he's still active.


I meant gccgo specifically, I don't doubt he's still active with Go in general.
