I recall that a long time ago there was serious discussion about making Go variables read-only and the final outcome was negative.
I could not follow all the different facets involved (probably couldn't these days, either), but it struck me recently that at least partial immutability for variables - a bit like a safety catch - could be achieved by somehow declaring a "type" of pointer to a particular object that forbids altering it through it. Period. I'd find that useful, sometimes. Was that considered, that long time ago? Lucio. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
