Is reading the posted article just something we don't do anymore?


To be fair, I read the article but still don't know what greentea is. The article never directly refers to the new GC by this name. It appears in a command line option value, that's about it.


> The new garbage collector may be enabled by setting GOEXPERIMENT=greenteagc at build time

I don’t know if you’d count that as directly referring to it by name but it’s there.


The sentence reads

The new garbage collector may be enabled by setting [blurred] at build time

to me, where exact flag value is automatically ignored, because I don't care what's in there. I don't pay attention to such irrelevant details


Yeah that’s extremely fair.


Haven't done that in ages. I open both the page and the comments. The first few comments usually dictate if I'm going to bother with the page.

What I want next is just an AI summary of the comments with vibe analysis ("Is this worth reading?).


If people were intended to read we wouldn't have to yell at them to RTFM!!
