I'm not paying that much for an editor that runs counter to my muscle memory, just so I can use a different programming language. If a language requires some IDE to make it usable, then I put it in the same camp as Java: Hope the competition are using it.
No wonder FOSS languages are stuck in the pre-historic tooling.
I'm still baffled by their decision around date formatting. https://www.godateformat.com/
> if I name my source file i_love_linux.go, it won’t get compiled on my Mac What the fuck?

“I’ll pay $1000’s to get all setup and running with everything I need, including a bunch of stuff I don’t need, but not the last $90 for some productive software to make more money” Yeah ok.
You forgot the additional $1000 for a computer powerful enough to run JetBrains.
I ran JetBrains software on one of those 1.5ghz MacBook 12” and it was totally fine.
I don’t think it needs “powerful” hardware.
Not like visual studio. Now that’s a pain!
If I want to change the contract of get_kittens so that it returns a set instead of a list, I found it quite tiresome to then go to all the call sites of get_kittens and change their types to match.
What was I doing wrong?* Perhaps there’s a cleverer tool out there that can infer and implement these type changes for me, automatically?
* using vim? [joke]
> There’s no ternary (?:) operator. Every C-like language has had this, and I miss it every day that I program in Go. The language is removing functional idioms right when everyone is agreeing that these are useful. And everyone agreed so hard that it was removed from almost every modern C replacement (Rust, Nim, Zig, Elixir, Kotlin).
Rust has if/else (ternary) and match (N-ary) expressions, so it doesn't need a separate ternary operator. All of the other “C replacements” listed (which are a weird list for that description, especially Elixir, but whatever) have at least if/else-expressions, which, again, are ternaries.
val foo = if (bar) "this" else "that"

It's more than that though. There is just no standard library to be spoken of. I mean things like the most basic string processing methods, etc., are left to the programmer to sort out themself. Every time I've done contracting work on Go projects, I'm shocked by the things I have to implement from scratch (not that it isn't fun) that we take for granted in every other modern compiled languge I've tried (Rust, Crysta…
This isn’t true. Go has a basic standard package list. https://pkg.go.dev/std

Yes, and it's missing tons of things we take for granted in other langauges. If you look at the "strings" section it's so short. There aren't even convenience things like string reverse.
What, apart from string reverse, do you miss for real projects?
