Today I officially ditched PHP for Golang. I left my job where we were doing modern software with templating language for new and shiny Golang job. Was telling stories about how cool Golang is, and how PHP sucks. Felt good man... Wanted to do it for so long...

Welcome to devRant!

@Jilano I love opinionated stuff. Go has clear coding conventions accepted by the community globaly, so there is no bikeshedding. Its simple - you can take the most straightforward way to solve your problem, without getting lost in sea of abstractions... And ofcourse performance, goroutines, fast compile times, garbage collection... No cons. People would say they miss generics, but its not there for a reason. Generics breaks the conventions and code becomes cumbersome. I like Go the way it is

Performance-wise, this might not have been the wisest choice. I think PHP 7.3 is often still faster than Golang.

@filthyranter im here to remind, that you are comparing compiled and interpreted languages

@damyou I know. Still, take a look at benchmarking sites.

I am proud of you.

Yay another gopher! Join us *writes beautiful and fast code*

@filthyranter benchmark != actual use cases

Rust.

started Go recently and it's awesome

@ngetich welcome to devRant!

I like golang, but dann do I need a cheatsheet.

Golang gives me orgasms.

@iAmNaN thank you

@dejaime share when you get one

@Jilano awesome, thank you

I just find the learning curve of golang very difficult. I don't seem to understand how it works and C-like languages are hard for me.

I can write PHP stuff nearly entirely without searching online by now so that's a huge plus.

*cough* as both a PHP and go dev, good job finding something you like.

But, php have very clear and strict standard and code style that the good part of the community follows.
