This definitely is a basic comparison. If you didn't see in the readme, this was a paper for a course I took and definitely has a lot of areas that could use more elaboration or detail. There are some open issues for things I'd like to add at some point when I have the time, feel free to open new issues if there are other things you think are missing!
I would hope that Go is better in all of the above. It has been available for much longer, and it's supported by a great team.
I want to know how the languages compare for writing code. Dos one make it easier to write more succinct and correct code? Swift is missing concurrency support until at least the next version, for example.
Go's compiler emits naive code quickly. For example, parameters are always passed on the stack.
Swift is built atop LLVM, and it emits code more slowly, but supports many optimizations like hoisting, vectorization, etc. that Go does not currently perform.
By all means, I'd love to know what kind of value it adds. Up to this point, I've assumed that this, and products in this category, are some sort of hipster fad.
hipster fad? double edge safety razors have been around since at least 1930. not really a 'fad' ;)
they normally provide a better/closer shave, much much cheaper blades (compared to gillette), greater selection of blades/razors. there are probably more advantages.
I'm quite aware that these kinds of razors were once commonplace. It is their [expensive] comeback that is noteworthy, and what I've dubbed a 'hipster fad'
If this is hypocritical, so is paying the lower tax rate than his secretary, even thought he complains about it. Anyone thinking its hypocritical is missing the point. He does it to show it exists. Sure, you can not do it, and donate to the government on your own, but that's not fixing the problem. The small number of donators can't fix the deficit on their own. It takes a law that required everyone to play ball in order to fix the problem.
