| Jan 19, 2013 at 21:31 | comment | added | user53141 | Overloading isn't necessary in Go as Go methods can accept arbitrary types as arguments. In languages that support overloading, it is mostly used to provide the conceptually identical action with different input types. In other words, they tend to be statically typed languages. In languages where a method can take arbitrary data (for instance: python), overloading is unnecessary. | |

| Jan 19, 2013 at 20:17 | comment | added | JasonTrue | Some people, when discovering a programming language has features that tend to be abused by poor programmers, create a lobotomized language. See, for example, Java (operator overloading is evil! multiple inheritance is evil!). Now, unless they invent something to replace it, they have two problems: boilerplate code, and unhappy skilled programmers. But they no longer have the original problem. Then, skilled programmers forced to use the lobotomized language write pet projects in languages they actually like. | |
