The gopher is really cute :3
David Robinson
probably better than Jow Forums will tell you.
Benjamin Price
It's fast, easy, but more tedious to write than python.
Jeremiah Taylor
Literally made for retards, it's a perfect fit for you OP!
Zachary Cruz
>fast
Andrew White
Great for people too stupid for C++.
Easton Wood
you cant use c++ in real-time web applications retard
Luis Sullivan
generics
William Gomez
The guy who co-wrote UNIX is all in favor of Go, and helped develop it. He said on video the reason he doesnt like C++ is because one time he tried to read the C++ manual and noped the hell out. Paraphrasing of course.
Grayson Sanders
Oh, look, the meme objection.
Go is certainly not without its warts. But it's possible to pick it up quickly and it's great concurrency story along with a *very* good standard library make it great for anything network related, as well as quite a bit of low-level OS interaction.
It's a good language to know but depending on your prior knowledge it may or may not be worth it.
Oliver Nguyen
Its based
Dominic Clark
I've read anons on /dpt/ and /wdg/ saying it's the best programming language to create APIs, is it true?
Daniel Barnes
it's designed for brainlets but it's about the fastest modern and easy language and it's statically compiled with good networking/concurrency support so it's going to replace a lot of python/ruby/node on the backend where you don't want to have to mess with maintaining runtimes
Logan Clark
If Jow Forums shills against it, it's probably good.
Carter Rivera
you have a really warped definition of cute
golang is tied with plan 9 for ugliest mascot.

Juan Richardson
what is analytics? what is concurrency?
Ian Perez
WHERE DO I FIND GOOD BENCHMARKS
GO IS SLOW
GO IS FAST
SHOW ME THE NUMBAHS BRUVV
Brayden Cooper
whats the point if all languages turn to pic related and it becomes hell when you have to deal with other people's code
Angel Ward
Same as always: It depends. Write a toy application for your use case in several languages and compare. Most likely you will find that Go is fast enough that speed doesn't matter beyond that point.
If you need the absolute maximum performance (which hardly anyone does these days) you already know it's not for you.
Jacob Murphy
Pretty good for writing front facing web services. Better off using C, C++ or Rust for basically anything else within its domain.
Cameron Barnes
Nice to build, nice to write. $GOPATH bullshit can fuck right off though
Nathaniel Reed
will add all those thing to the language?
why would they even add try catch?
And are generics even needed? they feel like the next two weeks finding a bug because someone rewrote a function just so he can use it with generics
Chase Howard
I prefer GLOgang myself
Alexander Rivera
You actually can and everyone big that needs performance does so. Like faceberg.
