Clipsey The ActivityPub standard is not very friendly for strongly typed languages lol

fr33domlover I'm implementing AP+extension in a strongly typed language
# 08:22 
fr33domlover I haven't tried in any other language, but, I think I'm doing fine ^_^
# 08:24 
fr33domlover The data handling side is basically just JSON and RDF, quite standard things

cjslep[m] Clipsey I agree but everything I am building is in the strongly typed language Golang. Of the people I know, it's honestly probably split 50/50 static/dynamic typed language users.

nightpool[m] doesn't golang not even have type variables? i think its pretty weird to consider it representative of strongly typed languages as a whole haha

cjslep[m] You're right it doesn't have generics, so types cannot be variadic. But Golang is strongly typed. But written in a form similar to a dynamically typed language.

nightpool[m] sure, I'm just saying as strongly-typed languages go, it's a weird duck, and one of the least expressive
# 11:01 
cjslep[m] I'll take that as a compliment in getting AP to work in it then :P
# 11:02 
nightpool[m] definitely

nightpool[m] but it's also unsurprising to me that there'd be limitations when dealing with an RDF format specifically designed to be open and extensible
