This makes me want to find a side project for an excuse to give Go another try (I last used it professionally pre-generics). I do still wish it had discriminated unions (algebraic data types) and some better error handling ergonomics.
Used to code primarily in Java. Now my app stack is about 80% Go. I love that it enables lightweight application development. Glad to see the platform evolving with a focus on resource efficiency.
I have been waiting for generic methods and can't wait to use them! The `go fix` modernisers are also great, have already run them in several repos.
Go - the language no one likes, but frankly everyone needs.
does it have goroutine termination, i recently found out you need a runtime patch for it
I really want to like Go, but I can't stand looking at Go code. The error handling is such a turn off.
As I've always said: every non-functional programming language, as it matures, it's adoption rises in enterprise, eventually starts to become more and more like Java in terms of it's syntax and feature-set.
Nice additions to go. I like to imagine that one day we'll have a language that launched with all the features languages eventually add. The whole ecosystem of packages would be built on them instead of a legacy of more primitive language feature sets.
Quarterly reminder that Go still exists.
I can imagine using it for simple web stuff. E.g. its perfect for something like Forgejo. But yeah... Seems like the world has moved on mostly.
