As someone who writes Go every day for work,
I can't agree that Go is simple.
You may be confusing "simple" with "good". A simple solution to a complex problem may not be a good one. Go can be simple and still not a great solution because it pushes complexity to a higher level.
- vertex-four 10y agoI think there's a difference between "simple" and "simplistic", and people don't often get it.
- gens 10y agoPeople rarely differentiate "complicated" and "complex". I get the feeling from GO that it was designed for making complex programs.
- codygman 10y agoGo handles simple problems well but copy pasting more "simplicity" as complexity scales results in a complex program.
- snaky 10y agoI'd say Go defines "simplicity" as "simple to write (good enough to run for non-critical parts)"
