I'm not familiar with either Java nor Golang, but I'd love to hear what you're looking at when you see shortcomings in Golang. I am genuinely curious and are very interested in what enterprises are looking at when they are browsing new tech.
My mother is a COBOL programmer for one of the largest banks in the EU, and I always enjoy listening to her explaining their systems (IBM Mainframe, Batch processing, etc).
- mmargerum 10y agoNot many. The only deal breaker I've hit is the inability to return multiple result sets with the built in SQL package. I haven't missed generics that muc, but it would be nice to be able to do things like sorting without implementing a sorter interface. I can live with this though because everything I've written in go so far had been easy to reason about and most importantly it "just works". I can read anyone's code an understand what it's doing. Can't really say that's been true in the 25 years I've been doing this.
- toqueteos 10y agoI would enjoy a lot reading her stories, you should write those on a blog.
- Svenskunganka 10y agoWould be really fun and informative writing a post about her work! I'm gonna ask her tomorrow! :)
