Why would this author feel compelled to write an article about this if they're just learning? That asynchronous Go code which is meant to be analogous to the handful of Node lines looks super verbose. Because the author has claimed a lack of expertise, I have no idea if that is actually the correct way to write something like that out...but it certainly doesn't make Go look good.
- gouggoug 9y ago> Why would this author feel compelled to write an article about this if they're just learning? Why wouldn't they? They specifically claim lack of expertise, and that sets the expectations for the reader. The author is just telling their story about learning Go coming from javascript/nodejs. Whether or not you like the book doesn't mean it shouldn't have been written.
- tudelo 9y agoWell, what's a quicker way for them to learn? I guarantee if they did something incorrectly people like you will point it out :)
- donatj 9y agoI myself know I learn better when I write things I have learned down. I have written very similar blog posts myself, a couple of which actually ended up on HN. It’s a really weird experience writing something you figure no one will ever read, and suddenly one day months later having to field mass criticism.
