Notes

  1. Bean played in three matches in the abandoned 1939–40 Football League season. Joyce includes those appearances, giving Bean a total of 174,[2] but most sources, including his Lincoln City FC Archive statistics, do not (although, inconsistently, his prose profile at that site does).[1]
gollark: It doesn't make it clearer because you (can) miss the important special bits and might just skim over errors in essentially-copy-pasted error handling/synchronization/etc.
gollark: Go makes basically *everything* more explicit and verbose compared to modern high level languages generally.
gollark: Go is very explicit about some things, but having verbosity everywhere cloaks what you actually want to do in vast amounts of boilerplate.
gollark: I would prefer some sort of parallel `map` function, but Go literally will not let you write one. With that, you could just do `urls.par_map(rss.fetch_feed)` (pseudorustaceocode) or something, thus skipping fiddly and problematic sync stuff and making your *intent* clearer.
gollark: I think they're overused and not actually very good synchronization primitives. Please explain how you would use them.
