My company is moving from using Python as their main language to Go. What should I expect?

Is this a new Pokemon?

Howcome tje mascots for these languages get gayer and gayer and gayer...

C without manual memory management and with cheap concurrency.

Go seems to be based on plan9s mascot, which is probably not coincidental considering rob pike and brian kernighan are the prime developers.

For reference

Less stress since you're going to be spending a lot of time compiling.

It feels like one of the most well-designed languages until you have to do anything remotely complex in it, at which point it feels like it has training wheels that can't be removed and you realize that "lol no generics" is legitimate criticism.

So basically the opposite of FP.

which are long since the compiler is slow

Of course.
Imagine them actually implement C++ style code generation via templates. Good god, I couldn't even imagine such slow compile times.
Oh wait, yes I could. It's called "rustc".

Less bugs from typing, probably a more annoying coding style but you'll get used to it, and vv nice threading if you do it right.

A style you really can't fuck up because of strict formatting standards.

Yeah go vet is nice. I'm kinda glad the devs built the tool themselves rather than having 10 different linters/beautifiers from other people.

wait... people use python in production? WTF that shit is for students and sysadmins

no self respecting company will use that mess of a language for enterprise

>no self respecting company will use that mess of a language
PHP already made sure that standards do not exist in the real world.

pointing to another shitty language is not really an answer but i guess it's the only defense left for python amateurs

Go compile times are lightning fast.
Python is the most popular language around and is used by businesses all the time, you're just an old boomer.

go finish your homework, kids talking about tech are just pathetic

It's been spring break for most colleges, I don't have any homework today old man.

bad choice. Rust is superior in any way

You need to go back to wherever you came from.

if err != nil {
return nil, err
}

All over your codebase

Rust is the inverse kind of garbage.

Oh you sweet summer child

Is there any reason Golang isn't going to take over for service level and server software? It just seems so god damn useful for larger projects.

You should expect a lot of pain. Go is nothing like Python.
Who made this retarded decision. Next week, go to them and call them a retard.

expect a lack of generics and .

Until someone decides to migrate to NoSQL dbs.
Nightmare mode: migrate everything to Redis, because fuck you.

Strongly disagree, it's good if your bottlenecks are mostly IO-bound processes and/or you can use external libraries written in compilable languages, like numpy or lxml. Finding a good Python dev is much easier and cheaper than e.g. goid Go or C dev and you save a shitton of work hours when writing new features.

How do you apply sql as the only thing for work? Like what exactly are you doing that requires full-time sql? I'm generic backend programmer, so i use sql, but that's like 5% of my work.

API breakage. Often.

} catch(std::exception& e) {
return nullptr;

Not really. The whole point of exceptions is that you don't have them all over the place.

If you have some complex network processing going on, you would get an exception from some unrecoverable IO error (e.g. remote port closed or whatever). You just cancel that entire operation and report the failure to the user. No need to propagate that if err != nil crap all over the top, you just throw and unwind the entire thing. It is less error-prone and of course there is less code to write.

it's rob pike's wife's art. she made all the chill unix guys their login photos or w/e too

The one I will agree with in your post is that Go does compile incredibly quickly.
