This is actually very very VERY important. Go is a lot more concise (IMO) that C++, generally when I'm curious about how something works in a project written in Go, its much easier to follow the logic.
- asimpletune 9y agoGo is nice. I like it a lot. It's very readable, it reduces the number of good ways you can do something to usually just one, it's fast, fat binaries are awesome, great concurrency primitives, etc...
- benjamin_mahler 9y agoThere's something to be said about how the code is written. I've seen easy to read C++ and hard to read go (I found go's built in http server source code to be a tough read) and vice versa. In Mesos we strive to write very readable code and so I would hope that despite being modern C++, it is approachable for an uninitiated reader.
