@cstanhope Interesting, I didn't know that about Pascal! Go does make returning an accumulator a little more concise. Compare with e.g. Python: def foo(): res = [] # not needed in Go for x in y: if z: res.append(x) return res That's the biggest advantage I can see though.

@cstanhope In theory it's not giving them much more data: I already have to give the company meter readings. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/consumer-affairs/six-reasons-say-no-smart-meter/ and https://www.the-ambient.com/explainers/smart-meters-2020-uk-guide-explainer-2153/ persuaded me against getting a smart meter though. The former link suggests I won't save money or escape confusing bills, and the latter suggests the early standards haven't won. It'll probably win eventually, for better or worse.
