For the love of Thor, please provide a few code examples illustrating the content, hard to get an idea of how to simplify things with Go with mere words and ideas.



Definitely. I'm left with no idea how Go actually helps. You can trivially implement 'pipelines' in any language by making a handful of queue structures and using them to feed your functions. Why were there callbacks in the first place?


My thought exactly. The whole thing strikes me as a case of: Have a hammer and everything looks like a nail. First with callbacks, and second with channels.


Yeah,

It is quite hard to read a stream of text about programming without examples.

But reading it, it seems like his problem could be more with Perl, which certainly has a reputation of supporting and encouraging unnecessary complexity. But argument is so vague, you could write the same article with Python substituted for Go - at least as far as the knowledge the article gives one about Go goes.
