The more Go code I write, the more I like the language, the tools, and the standard library.
Low-friction, high-quality software development.
If only I could use it professionally, instead of C++.
Very good for the ecosystem. Nudge folks to upgrade from broken/insecure versions
It looks like the language is really maturing. The changes are all fairly minor optimizations and improvements to the stdlib. Impressed with the Go team’s discipline for simplicity and stability.
At first I didn't like Go because I thought it was too opinionated. But the more I used it, the more I found the tooling to be just heads and shoulders above similar languages like C/C++. I use VSCode a lot, and in VSCode you can press "F12" to jump to the location of a function definition. In Go I find myself deep diving into github libraries all the time just because F12 takes me there. That never happened with C/C…
This is a very welcome change and make the go.mod much more obvious to understand. Hooray!
Anyone seen jobs for business applications? Go seems to have a sweet spot for systems. I'd like to replace Java at my work but no one else is doing it.
Apparently type parameter compiler work was supposed to get merged just after 1.17. [1] Does anyone know if it’s still on? [1] https://groups.google.com/g/golang-dev/c/U7eW9i0cqmo/m/ffs0t...
