@thmnmlst dude it's like dynamic languages(python,etc) but powerful to the core like C(it's like C on steroids). The amazing thing is it is developed by Ken Thompson and co., the developer of B and C.

joci438yI'd like to learn it this year.
But its pascal's like assignment operator is really horrible. -
joci438y@jshwkxneiwbd Noo, it's just about habit. But I think = is much better. However as I said it's just personal "problem"
-
@joci well consider it syntactic sugar on these and you may be more accepting:
var foo = "bar"
Or
var foo string
foo = "bar" -
Go is amazing. Definitely one of, if not my favorite language to code in. Very interesting and fun.

@theothergod plus also has kind of a high level feel to it. Almost like Python but not. It's also crazy versatile with all the different APIs and Packages available.

stisch48148yFor me, Go was the logical conclusion of what stressed me out about writing services in other languages. It isn't perfect, but it is fantastic and everyone should learn it.

c3ypt1c99058yIs there stuff like urllib and time and socket modules in go like there is in python?
-
Can anyone mention a few use cases for Go? Local stuff? Backend? Database handling? Frontend?

@JReinhold I've used it for stateless and stateful microservices. There isn't a mature ORM like active record so most of the CRUD I've seen has been a little goofy. Otherwise it is awesome.
Almost the straightforward language I want it to be, if only maps weren't implicitly passed as references... So close. -
@JReinhold it's very good for cloud computing and backend and for doing things like softwares where C like performance is needed.
