you’re being chased by continuation-passing style, it wants to be in your compiler. you jump in a taxi and escape. you breathe a sigh of relief. the driver turns around. it’s continuation-passing style

@lexplt @Gottox that would be interesting, the thing that I don't like about warnings is that they can be allowed to accumulate over time and then they are all just ignored

I can see if you have ~5 warnings how that could still be useful, but 100 is not

@piegames @fasterthanlime Then maybe unused imports shouldn't be an error, at least that's the side I would come down on if I was creating a language

I would rather have a separate utility for my language for cleaning up code formatting and imports and such

@Gottox yes?? Why not?

I think that warnings are useless, cause people end up ignoring warnings if there are a lot of them

So, as a compiler writer you have to pick, is it a problem or not? Go chooses errors, other languages chooses to just ignore, Both choices are ok in my opinion

In go you can also just do the following to get rid of the error:
_ = x

@fasterthanlime one thing I like about Go, if I remember correctly, is that they have a policy against compiler warnings, either it's something you must fix our it's not, and people tend not to fix warnings
