Why HN links it

HN commenters link rain1's posts on Go's lack of ASLR/PIE by default, citing its reasoning about debuggability, and a multi-part Scheme series on programming lessons drawn from Tarot.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 3 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?

  1. In contrast, Go programs are not compiled with ASLR/PIE by default. Go's developers do not want to give up the debuggability of deterministic address space layout, comparing ASLR's extra protection to "seat belts in restaurants" because Go fixes these vulnerabilities at the language level. https://rain-1.github.io/golang-aslr.html https://insanitybit.github.io/2016/12/28/golang-and-rustlang...
